Recently my son Rhodes just finished his first race ? which just happened to be at Disney World.? The clay track at the ESPN field where the race took place was packed with excited kids; most holding hands new era hats with even more excited parents.? The atmosphere was festive with a live band, balloons, favorite Disney new era hats characters and a race director tasked with herding the cats, I mean the children, onto the track for the race to begin.
Anticipation for this day had been building as my husband Norm and I both have participated in several races and were eager for Rhodes' first.? We explained to Rhodes before the race that while he was to run as fast as he could, what was really important was to just have fun
As the starter pistol shot rang out, I was holding hands with Rhodes because he was only three at the time and I didn't want him to get lost in a sea of strangers.? But as we ran, Rhodes began pulling away from me and trying to wriggle out of my grasp.? It was obvious ? his eye was on the prize and he was there to win that race.
