I HAD THREE FIRSTS TODAY:
1. I broke my 5k running record. Current time: 26:20.
1. I ran 6k in one go. Current time: 32:45.
1. I scripted the first draft of my 20 second pitch for Saturday’s competition. This will be the first formal business pitch for my cycling product. I’m eager for the experience, and the feedback.
I’m a little nervous, but the good news is that with two days to go and only 20 seconds of pitch to practice, I can rehearse at least another 8640 times.
Update (7 Feb 2010, 12:41): The pitch took place at approximately 16:06:40 in Glasgow yesterday. Fourty-odd students competed. I didn’t win the money, but I did take second place. It was a great experience, with some room for improvement. I’m still aiming for the national finals.
WOO! Go Hilary!
Congrats! That’s really great for your first pitching effort.
Cheers guys! Getting the pitch down to 20 seconds was a real challenge, but one that I recommend to everyone. Why take 30 seconds when you can do it in 20? I’m glad the next pitch will be longer though!
