~:[CH8 - Day 319]:~ Vintage
Most of my day was focused on getting to this point. It was our last practice, but we've been waiting for this race for two long. This week was full of writing letters to each other and making posters, prepping for tomorrow's CIF race. Waking up at 6:15am the entire summer, camp, afternoon and Saturday workouts and every day after school until it gets dark were all investments to try and succeed on this very day. As we think about all those who came before us, I take on a more vintage approach to sending a final message to my athletes and coaches, the handwritten letter. I always felt that this was the most authentic and genuine way to send a message to someone and I always take the time to do this for my athletes before CIF. With technology making us move so quickly forward, it's nice to take time to go back to the past a bit and connect with it. For my athletes, I hope they understand that they don't only have a connection with the ohana of the present, but those of the past as well. All the efforts of everyone over the years has allowed us to be where we are today. To the ohana of the present and the past, I thank you and tomorrow's race is for all of us! #rnrohana
