Pinewood Derby Success

Triathlons of course, aren’t the only big race of the year. This year, two of my four boys were competing in the annual Indian Guides Pinewood Derby Race. So, this marks the 9th and 10th cars I’ve built to date.

I must be getting good at this. My kindergartner took first place over all in the kindergarten race. That’s his car in the red speeding down the ramp.

My third-grader — his last pinewood derby race, took second overall in the third grade class. This is his car in the green:

It was a proud moment for a Dad.

Kids are better in the AM

I have a 3-hour bike ride I must get in today, and it’s too cold outside to take the boys. If I do it first thing in the morning, the kids eat their breakfast, play, watch cartoons, and my absence is almost unnoticed. But if I wait till after lunchtime, it’s horrible for all of us. What is it about kids and the “witching hour?”

Advice for Dads: Do all your workouts first thing in the morning… it’s easier for everyone.
