Track meets are seriously boring. My son ran the 400 and the 4x400 and for some reason one was early in the meet and one was last. He was very fast, but quit after a couple of seasons.

I'm a weirdo I guess. I love watching track meets.

Track meets are at least in the sunshine. Swim is the worst sport for parents/fans. Everything wet, everything smells like chlorine and sweat. Practice is grueling. Meets are early to late, pools are cold as hell so the deck area is muggy as can be, and almost zero pools are built for spectators. So if you want to watch your kids or your kids teammates it is a merry go round of moving up to the area you can see then getting out of the way so others can watch their swimmers. My daughter was a decent swimmer, not great, not bad. So she was constantly trying to hit qualifying times and would swim early and late. Early warm ups were like 7 am, then last event was at 7pm. Jesus.
