Salt Ayre Classic
Yoke 390kg 16m metres - Happy With this, could of done more at a struggle but It wouldn't of done me any good points wise.
Dumbell 53kg 7 reps - Overhead is by far my worst event so I was pretty happy to get a decent number of reps and I actually finished in tenth place on this.
Farmers Walk 130kg 8.72 seconds - My favourite events and I think its probably my best after the yoke. I knew id be the fastest on this weight but didn't expect to go sub 10, nevermind under 9.
Deadlift 250kg 7 reps - I was in two minds up until just before the yoke about my deadlift choice, Ive pulled 290 confortably in my suit, but everytime ive ever tried 300 its never gone. 250 for 7 is a rep pb and I think based on the reps on the 300's I chose wisely
Loading 5 implements 52 seconds - Im a pretty good loader, just struggle with conditioning when the weights are pretty heavy. I was happy with the first 4 implements, but the last keg was far to slow, I should have won this events by a county mile but I couldn't give my all on the last keg because I was absolutely shagged.
Overall a good performance from a personal perspective and Picking up 3rd overall and the juniors title gives me something to show for my hard work, Now its time to get STACKED for the northern qualfiers next year.
