Regional Track, the "Short Day"...

0429_ABSP_3ARegionalTrack1 So, Saturday was the "shorter" day of the regional track meet. I say "short" because it's still a 16+ hour day between getting there early shooting field events and two full track meets, then editing, sending and driving home and squeezing in a slideshow to boot. The only big difference is all the running events were squeezed together and thank to some weeding out I didn't have nearly as many runners. However, there still were more than enough to keep me busy... plus the light was pretty nice for most of the day.

One thing that was still missing was a lot of really good emotion. There were a couple of good moments, but still, usually those who won were the favorites and usually had their sights set on the state meet anyways. But still, there was more than the previous day. I ended up getting a nice remote shot from the hurdles that I was nervous about sending given the extreme crop, but at that point you just send it in and hope the page designer does a decent enough job to make it work. After two long days I was semi-happy with what I had but am still hoping for more at the state meet.
