    First and Last Track

    A week ago I shot my first----and last track meet of the year.
    I missed out on high jumping and other stuff while waiting for hurdles.

    Nice shots John. I love shooting track. But as you point out you just can't seem to get in everything you want to at every meet. Too much going on at one time.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    That ain't the half of it, Larry. At the same time the track meet was on, the girls varsity softball team and boys varsity baseball team were playing. I was running around all over the place.

    John,
    You should try and shoot 7 events at 7 different schools in one 2 1/2 hour period! Talk about nuts. Yeah, I broke a few speed limits in the process but I didn't get caught
    Today didn't go too well, I made 2 of three events due to a pokey driver
    At track meets there isn't time to stand around waiting so I position somewhere so if I am waiting on an event I can still shoot some other event.
