Hurry up and wait

This morning I took Maddie to a Middle School track meet. We arrived at 8:30am and it was a perfect crisp Prescott morning. There were about 100 students there competing and it was a great picture of our lives.

You see, 90% of track is practice and warm ups. This is especially evident during a meet. Students stretch, walk around laughing, playing games, but mostly THEY WAIT!

Isn't it ironic that we spend lots of time practicing and preparing for the "evident", when it takes so little of our time. Perhaps we should work more in the practice and make the most of those times instead of just the event.
