Harrison,

For a sports event at that level you must have been saying "Hail Mary's" 
after each shot! :) 8 rolls would sure keep you on your toes, mind, eye and
 reflexs poised like a cat about to strike. There wouldn't be any wasted
frames.

I'm sure it was ten times worse than shooting a little old ladies tea
party, as a sports event, no matter how good a photographer one is, you
generally tend to use more film due to so much action.

I'm glad it was you and not me. :) But I'm sure the shortage of film
eliminated all the superfluous situations.
