Wow! That must have been the world’s shortest sport’s season ever! Two practices at school, a few practices at home with dad, then the Championship meet. And to top that off, Gabe (despite his ridiculously short ‘season’) decided to run the 800 and the 1500 on what was to me the hottest day I had experienced thus far in Malaysia :(((. Below are some of the pictures from his Championship meet and a school track meet that coincided with the track season...I practiced motion photography (on the manual setting of my camera) since I had lots of opportunities at both of the track meets. I still have much to learn with the manual settings on my camera, but am feeling a little more comfortable with some of them now.
