The Waiting Game...





After a smooth trip to College Station yesterday we wanted to get out and see "the sights" here in the area. There is no competition on Thursday so we went over to "historic" downtown Bryan, TX. That was a short trip. Then we decided to look for a mini golf place. Hanah's (our trainer) phone led us to "Paradise"....scuba diving. So I tried my phone/map and we found a game place that included glow in the dark mini golf, bowling, laser tag, and lots of other arcade type games. The golf competition was fierce and included several lead changes. Although one thing never changed from the first hole...I was in last place the whole time. A double par is never a good way to start. We all had at least one hole in one including Langley's back to back single shot holes midway through the round. Andrew made a stunning comeback with six holes to go to win. Langley and Hanah were a few shots behind. In my giving mood, I was another few shots behind them. Just doing what a good coach does....set up the logistics of the trip, get everyone to and from safely, provide very nice accommodations and meals, provide support and motivation as needed, and take a butt kicking in mini golf. It's all about the athlete here at Utah Track & Field:)

We will head over to the championship facility in a little bit for a short practice session. Then I have packet pick up and a coaches meeting. That will be followed by a banquet this evening (an indoor championship first). I will try to get some video and or pics from those events posted later. Check back for more then.
