The second wave is arriving.

While we got in here on day one, our competitors snoozed – and have been playing catch up ever since.

After a week of 20 hour days, we’re tired and tetchy, with bags underneath our eyes.

The fresh faced newbies, bounding with energy and “ideas” -- many of them bearing only a loose relation to the reality of the situation – are grating on my nerves already.

The knowledge that we’ve creamed the competition for a week makes the fatigue bearable.
