~:[CH13 - Day 96]:~ The Unexpected
I was supposed to do a shoot in LA today, but unexpectedly, we discovered that the pole vault had been moved to Friday. I wouldn't have been upset about it, but the meet director didn't even inform the teams that it had changed. Their original paperwork was the same, but they did change it on the registration site. Regardless, we figured it out on time. I fit the poles in my van and headed to the meet. Because of the change, a few athletes didn't end up showing up, which I thought would make the competition quicker, however, we were the last ones in the stadium. The good news is that all three athletes ended up receiving a medal. In life, we have too many of things that happen unexpectedly. From an injury or illness, a schedule change, or something similar, we find ways to adjust and adapt to them. It's not the way that we may have wanted things to go, but you do what you can and from there, you roll with the punches. There are some things you can change or at least bring attention to, but when things are out of your control, you just have to do your best to make it work and hope for the best. Tonight, we all did just that and it ended up working out for the best. For these three athletes, I know they were proud of what they accomplished, especially with the tough windy conditions that made pole vaulting even more difficult than it already is.
