There are a few things that are definitely true about the bold first-rower that happens to be sporting proper athleisure in front of you:
1. They will sweat - like a lot
2. They will take their shirt off and their said sweat will wick back at you (it's science)
3. They probably own personalized cycling shoes
4. They will likely fart when 'tapping it back'
Contrary to popular belief, sticking to the back of the room doesn't make you an amateur. In fact, by juxtaposing yourself with the rest of the plebs you not only look more athletic, but leave feeling much less like an arrogant cult member's body fluids are on you.
