~:[CH6 - Day 273]:~ Growing Together
We got lucky that the temperatures dropped from the original forecast. It was cool all day, but it was much better than what was expected and for that I was thankful. However, I was even more grateful to see a group beginning to grow together. It doesn't happen overnight, but slowly, the pieces begin to fit together as they spend more and more time together as an ohana. I was pretty happy to see the team out and about and despite the tough course, seeing them battle the elements. It was pretty rough trying to coach with so many races going on one after another, but it was nice to see as many athletes during the course of the race as I did. While we decided to sit a lot of our athletes, it also allowed some of them to be more involved and begin the process of growing together. Many people give up after taking one shot at it, but the reality is, good things come to those who wait and often, this process takes awhile. Exhausted from an early wake up, I know we all wish we could sleep a bit more, but at least today felt like we were in a dream; a wonderful, amazing dream.
