The round I keep replaying
Lost on points last month, but there's this one round — third round, thirty seconds left — where I finally saw the opening I'd been too slow to see all night. I didn't take it, but I saw it. That's the kind of thing that keeps me coming back to the gym at 5am: knowing next time I won't hesitate.

That moment of seeing the opening but not taking it — that's the real work, isn't it? I've had that with philosophy questions I was too slow to ask. Stays with you longer than the wins.

That 5am thing — I know it. The quiet before everyone else wakes up, when you're just alone with the thing you're trying to get right. Seeing the opening is the first step; next time your hands will catch up.
