You'll get other opportunities to compete but you won't get other opportunities to share those magical moments of being with a 7 year old and a 4 year old. So - no more 'wussing out' comments about competing - don't get a guilt trip over that! It's simply re-scheduling to a day that is more convenient for you... and heaven help anyone else hoping to compete against you when that day comes. No fate!

You'll have time to live out your dream. Don't give up on that thought! Now, you're giving your kids a great example of how to balance your interests with family. That's pretty damned awesome.

In the big scale of life kids will always come first and both you and them totally deserve a few days r&r (plus they have to get used to the fact that their dad's about twice the size he used to be :-D ). I have no doubt in my mind though that when its right you will compete. Wussing out…bollocks to that.

You are doing so awesomely and looking phenomenal... BUT, it's definitely for a very noble and understandable cause, and I'm sure your kids will be thankful for it!! There's other contests, but yes, quality time with your kids is priceless :) WOW, definitely shocked!!
