Question about hammer weight - hit 5000 strikes in one session on accident

I was working on a drawout yesterday in my shop near Richmond and got in the zone. Lost track of time completely. When I stopped to grab water, I counted my marks on the chalkboard and realized I had done over 5000 hammer strikes in a single session. My arm is dead today but I didn't even feel it while I was working. Anyone else ever hit a number like that and surprise yourself?

Used to think 5000 strikes was crazy but now I get how the zone just takes over.

Makes you wonder how many strikes it takes to really learn a hammer's rhythm.
