Rockwell gets the most attention this post. It’s been a while since we raced. Melinda, Rockwell and I went to practice last Wednesday, and went surprisingly fast on the new hard track.. Melinda did 56 seconds I think? That was a really good time. And Rockwell did his first sub 50 second time ever, even after not practicing for a while.. Go figure. Melinda did not want to race this week. However, Rockwell and I raced, and tonight, Rockwell actually won the first heat, and won the main too. Good job Rockwell!
Here he is winning the First heat.
Biggest trophy yet!
He crashed trying to jump a double AFTER the race… whacked his wrist too.
Commercial photographer was there too:
One more.
Here is something off topic… Melinda and Hannah have calluses… from so much writing!
Rockwell got to do some soldering at young makers this week. Learning something new is good!
Does the boasting never end? Of course not, I’m a parent.
Rockwell and Melinda participated in a duathlon (run bike run) this weekend.
Melinda came in first of the girls in her age bracket! Actually, she was a 1:09 faster than the next girl in her bracket! 7th overall out of a field of 13 kids.
Incredible.
Rockwell placed 2nd in a group of 14 7-8 year olds, 10 seconds behind the leader (who had his triathlon dad following him the whole way pushing him, who also had a expensive bike, while Rockwell rode a loaner huffy)
Rockwell was in the lead after the bike section (ha) but lost a couple seconds on the last lap. (I believe the timing of the last run is wrong on that results sheet.)
I thought that was exceptional for their first race the ever participated in…
