50% is great if that is your pay raise.
50% is bad if its your test score.
50% is great if that is a sale on a car or house.
50% is bad if its the number that comes to practice...
That's exactly what we had today. Technically we were one person over half - we had 27 out of 52 show up for today's long run. I understand that there are extraordinary circumstances that prevent us from making practice occasionally, but not HALF of us. Teams with a winning culture - a culture with a desire to improve - do better than 50%. I know practice was far away today, but we have the nation's most used National Park - we'd be foolish not to go there, especially for the soft surface of a long run.
This is it - this is the week of the first meet and classes. Its time to buckle down and prove whether we are true believers in a new culture or not.
