~:[CH14 - Day 253]:~ The Competition of Life
I woke up early and headed to the park to setup the course. The weather was perfect based on now it's been this year so far. The course setup was pretty quick and before I knew it, the race arrived. It was my first league race in an assistant role, but it almost felt the same. The craziness of doing results overtook the afternoon and I still barely had time to watch what was going on. We had quite a number of illnesses and injuries plague the team in the past few weeks, so all things considered, we did what we could. Athletics is a competiton, but it also something full of lessons. They learn how to tough it out, how to push themselves, and how to focus in on their strategies. In life, I hope that we can keep things in perspective and not always make things about winning or picking sides. Today, a few more lives were lost in multiple shootings. In these moments, I hope we see that it can't be about sides and that there can't be revenge or someone reigning victorious at the end, because at the end of the day, we are all part of one team, the human race. Changes need to be made and the only way that solutions will be found is if we find a way to compromise, unify, and understand that life cannot be a competition. To all of us, I hope we take the time to reflect, in hopes that we can find a way to walk alongside one another and heal together because in the end, that's the best way we can find ourselves becoming victorious - together.
