Narrative:

We were taxiing out for departure on runway 31C, given hold short runway 31R. It was read back and written down correctly. While taxiing, we noted departure runway had a tailwind so performance was rechked and a new power setting and speeds and trim setting were entered in the FMS. While doing that, we missed the hold and tower issued a go around to the landing aircraft. What we should have done: any change out of the ordinary should warrant caution. We could have brought the aircraft to a stop at the hold short point and refigured our performance.
