Our seniors continue to grapple
with excruciatingly difficult emotions. As coaches, we lack an adequate roadmap
to help them navigate through this unprecedented situation. We’re trying. We’re
all trying. Senior Chris Rivas decided to do something about it, do the one
thing he knows best. He went to the track and he ran as hard as he could. I got
the following screen shot and text from Chris: “Realized I never got the chance to PR in the full mile since junior
year high school. So, went to the track today, in trainers, no Vaporflys, just
me.
4:24.89.” Like the other seniors, Chris was eagerly anticipating the
outdoor track season. He had a phenomenal indoor track season, filled with
breakthrough after breakthrough. He wanted more. He craved more. When I called
him a while later, he admitted that he wanted to “do something” with his
current fitness level (“I’m in the best
shape of my life right now, Pete”). I know, kid. I know. Nicely done. Today
and always.
