a blog exploring:
life, business and sport
In cycling and running a tangent is taking the shortest distance to the finish. When racing running the tangent can save considerable time and energy. This blog will document lines taken, finding better ways and the life of a colour blind accountant.
This blog will cover numerous topics with a main theme of choosing the best line (a tangent in endurance sports).
- Researching and testing techniques and methods to making life better;
- Training and preparing for marathons;
- There must be a better way: where we look at something before and after tangentX;
- Implementing ways to remove redundant processes in business;
- Computer system tips and tricks;
- Managing a growing business.
Hopefully this site will inspire and help you find and take your best line.
