~:[CH6 - Day 90]:~ Out of Gas
It was a long day. Scratch that. A very long day. It was already time to sing happy birthday to one of our athletes who was born on April 1st by the time that we got back to school. Our bus died and they had to come out and fix the bus, having us wait about an hour in the dark for our bus. However, the athletes didn't really complain and were even more efficient in loading and unloading the bus. When leaving, they all were there to help carry items and at the end of the meet, all was cleaned up so quickly and we had the cleanest area in the stadium despite having all the food that we did. Honestly, I didn't have to do too much today during the meet other than coach. As exhausted as I am right now, I am so grateful to have been surrounded by such a great group of athletes who took responsibility. Tonight is always one of my favorite nights because I love this meet so much. We had a good number of PRs, medals, and great races, but the night was even better because of how well everything ran. While not everyone was there for the final picture, this year's group showed me just why all the effort that I put into a day is well worth it.
