max log win???? Happy


Cheers pal, think I'll need a PB log just to beat Nik and have no idea what anyone else that is doing the comp is capable off?

Also be there for 10:00am next sat, rules at 10:30, start 11:00. Should be a closely fought comp for the title of Ayrshire's Strongestman. At least one of our training group should make top 3. Cool

Competed at Ayrshire's Strongestman Comp today. Was abit light but wanted to support the organisers and it's the 1st comp that I know off in my area.

FARMERS:

110x20m in 12 sec.

Went too slow, really should have been quicker. 5th place.


YOKE:

220x20m in 12 secs odd.

Made an arse of this and tripped, really should have done better at this light weight. 5th place I think?

TYRE FLIP:

240ish??? x5 flips in 16 odd secs.

Again made an arse of this and was too slow. 4/5th in this????

Would have been better if the moving events had been heavier, I just couldn't take them serious and even being a fat f**ker I wasn't ven out of breath.

MAX LOG(last man standing):

65x1
85x1
95x1
105x1
115x1
120xFail.

Lost balance on the last one, was going to be hit or miss as it is my Pb after all, joint 2nd place.


18" deadlift:

240x15

Was supposed to be for max but was changed at last minute to 240 for reps. Would have prefered for max, 2nd place.

Over all came 3rd and only half a point from 2nd to my sometimes training partner Nik Thompson.
Was a long day as there were two strongwoman and a one strongman comp being run at the same time.
Big thanks to the organisers and everyone who helped out for a good fun day. Was great to see some strongman/women comps in my area and was good to catch up with Ken and Andy who done a great job as ref and m/c. The women's comp was pretty awesome with some VERY strong ladies taking part from all over Europe.

Sounds like you have a good team there. Yes I know the events but I'm not telling you Tongue .

2Man log press,
keg relay medlay,
stones,
farmers relay for max distance.

May not be in that order though? Good events for lighter fitter guys I would say but as you say aslong as the weather is ok then it will be good fun.

Thanks Davy, think the weights were pitched low so that it would be open for more people to take part and help drum up some interest in strongman in the area. The organisers have plans for more comps in the future, so hopefully they'll be ones more suited for me.
The last event was good as Ian and myself were tied for 3rd with Nik 0.5 point behind in 4th going into it, so there was abit of trash talk going on. Grin

At least you'll be able to get wasted in Amsterdam. Tongue

Competed in a 3man team comp at Rouken Glen Highland Games with Nik Thompson and Martin Smith.

2man log lift(Nik and I):

13 reps for 1st place.

Only had to beat 12 to win so just stopped at 13 as we were last up on this event.


Stones(3 of us):

martin x fail
me x1
Nik x1

Unfortunatly it started to piss it down when our teams turn came and the stones were like marbles which made them impossible to grip so we ended up coming last. Would have been top 3 in this if it hadn't rained as the stones were pretty light.


Keg medley relay(3 of us):

3 kegs x60m in 30.34 secs.

Got 3rd place in this, due to the rain the field was getting very slippy and wet, a few guys went down when trying to go too fast so we decided just to take it steady.


Farmers relay for max. (3 of us):

75ish x just over 2 laps of the arena.

Got joint 3rd in this.

Team Ayrshire came 4th over all, which isn't too bad really but just can't help think if it hadn't rained when doing stones we may have picked up more points and easily made top 3. Still had lots of fun and all the teams we're great. Well done to Stuart Yules team from Scotstoune for the win.
