I have to concede defeat. Unfortunately my sprint to the finish featured several stumbles and the lace scarf is unfinished – although about 3/4 finished. I should have accepted the unlikeness of my finish last week – what was I thinking to try and tackle this during my last two weeks at my current job. The many late nights made completing my race a virtual uncertainty.

Congratulations to all my team mates who won gold for our fine country! And congratulations to everyone who made a valiant effort. Picture to follow as soon as it is completed and blocked.
