Two Marathons
I did two marathons this weekend. First up was the L3 CFA exam on Saturday. I walked out of the morning session thinking I had it in the bag. After the afternoon session I was convinced I had failed. My only consolation is that everyone else seems to be in the same boat, and I really don't think another 100+ hours would have made that big of a difference in my score. I just wouldn't have studied the material tested in the afternoon in the detail required. Totally blind sided. Tao sums it up nicely on his blog.
Next up was the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon this morning. Spending every waking moment studying for the test didn't leave much time for training, but somehow I managed to get through it. Right now I can barely walk but at least I can check "Running a Marathon" off my list of things to do in life. The next couple weeks are still going to be hectic as we're moving and getting ready for our trip, but hopefully I'll be able to start posting with a little more frequency.
