~:[CH14 - Day 58]:~ Getting on Track
It's always tough to get use to the routine of a track meet, especially for new athletes. From setting up, to moving blocks and hurdles and cleaning up, it's quite the challenge. Even getting them to know when to warm up and making sure they get to their races is a chore, but we survived today. I did sent a little message to my athletes to make sure that they did their part, as many of my sophomores were taking on the brunt of the work today, but I already know that today's meet is always a rough start, trying to teach them how the meets are run and what our responsibilities are. It's a training meet, not for the marks and times, but more for roles, responsibilities, and just understanding how it all works. In the end, it was dark by the time I locked the final gates and drove off campus, but I was happy with how a lot of the events turned out. There were some surprises, while I also realized that I had some holes that I needed to fill. We'll figure it all out soon, however, for now, I'm going to bed. It's time to rest for the very busy weekend ahead.
