Where's Noah? We Need That Ark!

Today it rained and you would think that the team had never seen rain before.  Two practices are scheduled for 6 days of the week with one day for complete rest.  It drizzled this morning so practice was in their eyes canceled.  A few (the good few) showed up only about 2 hours late for morning practice.  Tom and I waited at the stadium the whole time.  We got a workout in and only 3 melted.  They are very special creatures these athletes.  Coach No decided that if it was still raining that we would cancel afternoon practice.  We agreed because there was no reason Tom and I should show up if they ditch anyways.
It came time for afternoon practice scheduled for 3pm and the rain had subsided around 2pm.  We thought perfect we can still get a good workout in and the weather is still cool.  Tom and I got on our motorbikes and rode to the stadium, noticing on the way that the roads were dry.  This got my spirits up.  What I didn't take into account was that since it rained in the last 24 hours the team was obviously building an ark for the ensuing flood.  Building the ark is much more important than practice so even though we thought we had practice only 3 guys showed up.  ZERO sprinters.  We waited, made some phone calls, eventually No showed up and also made phone calls and no one new showed.  They few who showed got a workout in and then Tom did one of his own because this was his favorite weather of the trip.  It wasn't raining during the workout which must have made the team think "great easier to build our ark".
I try not to get personally offended.  As Tom keeps reminding me its not personal they are just all lazy.  Still though after spending a better portion of my day at the stadium with little coaching I find it hard to not be offended. What would they do if they situation was switched.  Not with the same coach/athlete relationship because they would be ecstatic no practice but in another scenario where I made them wait for 2 hours.  After waiting I wouldn't show up and set up the meeting for later and made them wait again and didn't show.  I think they would not be so receptive of the idea.  I know No wasn't happy.  This just means tomorrow is going to be really fun for them.  Unless it rains. 

Such is Laos.  I just hope the damn ark floats!
