DAY 10 — RESET THE SYSTEM, RESPECT THE PROCESS
Kia ora whānau — Jamie here.
Day 10.
Double digits. First checkpoint. And instead of pushing harder today, I did what most won’t:
I pulled back with purpose.
This isn’t weakness — it’s strategy.
Today was a full-system recovery day: breath, mobility, ground flow, and nervous system reset.
Because the strongest warriors don’t just train hard — they recover with intent.
They learn to listen, not just lift.
I moved slow. Held deep positions. Breathed only through my nose. Let the spine unwind and the hips open. Let the weight of the last nine days settle — and pass through.
This is how we stay in the game.
This is how we avoid breakdown.
This is how we adapt.
