Yes, the three of us actually pretty much stuck to the schedule and completed Sports Camp, injury free, if not a little sunburned. Eli was a trooper, with highlights of hitting his first pitches in a batting cage, hitting his first bucket of balls at the driving range, rowing a tandem kayak almost all the way out the harbor-mouth to the open sea, and riding many miles on his very small bike, including an off-road trail between the Vista Sports park and Rancho Guajome Adobe (and back).
SSOMG certainly considers this a highlight of this very weird year, and is already planning Winter Camp 2020/21, with no idea of what that will look like; Maybe a road trip?
Hopefully this week will long be one of the favorite Sports Story of His Generation.
