The most frenetic activity occurred today when I turned my study (as opposed to the temporary study that has migrated by the fire) "upside down, inside out, and sideways" to quote a JD I didn't apply for, searching for a piece of paper to remind myself of some "strategic" wording for a JD I did. That absorbed a couple of hours while I got distracted by various paperwork, and then another couple of hours translating the strategic wording to today's job application.
With rain intervening, that left only a couple of late hours in the garden. I now have gardeners hands again instead of "office" hands. Didn't take long.
Re paperwork: have received the next stage of the Taupo registration to complete. So need to nail my colours to the mast re how long it will take me to complete: a long time! Even if (no when) I drop several kilos and increase my speed by November its still going to take a "long time". That's ok. So, I think I'll still need to enter the slowest category. As long as a marshall (and a few familiar faces) are there when I cross the line :-)
Looking forward to tomorrow as I'll (hopefully) get some tyre tips and solve the mystery of how to create the "perfect fit", a swim at Huia which will allow a bit of a stretch out and some much needed cardio, and maybe some time at the Hutt LM when I can literally hit the bags there. Not that my arms need a workout - but I know I will enjoy a bit of time with the speedball. That should fill in the day nicely. Sweet! I will though need to negotiate leaving the tyre at the bike shop so I don't walk round the Hutt with a spare wheel - although for some reason I have from past experience found that for some reason if you carry a spare wheel, people suddenly feel the urge to comment and create conversations with you.
