Connor's track meet today was substantially more comfortable than the one last Friday. Soldotna is usually warmer and less windy than Kenai (where the last meet was held). Thus, I was able to sit in just a short-sleeved shirt and start tanning my arms a bit. In fact, when there wasn't a breeze--which was most of the time--I was actually getting a bit too warm.
Although Rowen was not eager to sit through another meet (and is a bit upset that we will need to do so again on Friday), he really got excited when watching Connor run his races. He expressed several times that he thinks that he will be an excellent runner when he's able to do track. I reminded him that he would need to run more now if he wants to be better later. He was skeptical of that assertion.
Connor, meanwhile, had some highs and lows. His 400 meter and 200 meter races did not have a lot of time between them, and the 400 wore him down--and rightly so, as he really had an impressive run in it, getting 11th overall. Considering that this is his first year in track and his first time racing the 400 at a meet, he was really happy with his results.
The weather is not supposed to be quite as nice on Friday, so I was glad that we had at least one beautiful day for a track meet.
