~:[CH12 - Day 93]:~ Blooming
It's strange how close we are to the end of the season. I didn't realize it, but our entire team has just a week left together. While we still have meets after this week, only about half of our team will be eligible to compete at league finals. Sadly, this season has been tarnished with canceled meet after canceled meet as dates for meets fell on different weeks, other meets got canceled, and the rain definitely took its toll. Regardless, when there is rain, it leads to a beautiful bloom and today I saw just how much this team has blossomed over the course of this season. There are still some loose ends I need to tie, but ultimately, I have seen so much progress from this group, not only in their times, but on days like this, as the groups are bigger, as more of them push their limits. Coaching is exhausting and the pay, well you know about that, but in the end, it's moments like these that remind you why you're doing this in the first place. I enjoyed seeing this transition and progress, as many athletes overcame some early struggle sand found themselves apart of this beautiful bloom after the storm.
