The mosaic is moving on again. I am finding it harder to start work on it in the mornings though. Once I get going it is generally OK. Its longer than the Tour de France.
I often compare jobs with the tour de france and if I were to describe it now I would be in the pyraneese mountains and really feeling the steepness of the climbs. I am well ahead of the main peleton, suffering but hanging onto a small group of riders who are putting the hammer down, I am coping, but that is all. My mind is beginning to shut down and I am constantly asking myself to stop, let them go. From experience I now this is a mistake as when you let go you dont slow down you stop totally. I will have to stop anyway soon as I have to start another mosaic next week. That is a the real killer as I have yet to tackle the alps they are nearer the finish and I need to conserve my strength. So I guess the approaching mosaics for Newcastle are the real hard climbs including the 'Tormoulet' the race could be won or lost there.
I have to keep going as time is short. The more I can do before Newcastle starts the better. I need a time bonus….there may be one at the top for the first over the line?
Dig deeper, hang on whatever comes and focus.
