It is the end of many things, but the beginning of new ones. I am not afraid of the changes, but I am stressed. My spare time has shrunk considerably and I suddenly need to manage my time efficiently to get everything done. Luckily, I have the support of my friend Ross, who has been working long hours for years. The day before I started work, he took me shopping for shirts. It felt like the perfect rite of passage to get a crash course in Kiwi business wear and custom.
The Biz Dojo
Now let me show you where I work. When you go the most famous street of Auckland, K'road, you will find a new environmentally friendly building with a catchy name. The Iron Bank is the host for many small businesses including Creative Agency Secrets, the company I now work for.

After hours
Tuesday I went to the Beach Series in Takapuna again. This time I went for the 1500 meter distance and found tough competition. I finished 16 overall in the time 22.32 after battling a strong current at the first buoy and shortening my strokes to power through choppy waves on the return leg. I finished in a sprint right next to a competitor, whom I had been shoulder to shoulder with since the final buoy. The race was won by Mario Mola, one the best triathletes in the world.

Friday I went for a beer with some colleagues from the Biz Dojo. I naively thought "a beer after work" actually just meant a couple of beers at a bar. We had that. And then we had some more. Then we had cocktails. Then we had more cocktails...
Saturday had a slow start for me...
