 My opinions have run their course Member 694, 3112 posts | Well done lads. Just got home after long drive starting to ache now. Have watched the videos and on reflection I am pleased with how I did today it was pretty much the best I can do. Apart from my dismal grip event. But I never even started out right on that so lesson learnt. Will write up properly tomorrow but thanks Brian and nick for organising and to all the refs and loaders. Well done young nick definitely one to watch. highlight for me was ian he excelled himself on the day. Baldy too hitting pbs. | ||

My opinions have run their course Member 694, 3112 posts | Okay now I've finally got a minute to sit down here are my thoughts (start to end)! Got there early at about half ten, most people turned up around 11. Quick walk through then started warming up. I managed to pull number one from the bag so was up first in the axle against young Nick (the eventual winner). I matched my PB with 7 reps, just couldn't manage to clean it again. Happy with that. Highlights on this one were Baldy (good PB with 4 or 5 I believe), and some dodgy cleans all round! Quick note about the reffing. I think it is all too easy to criticize especially when you haven't been there, but overall it seemed very fair to me and I think that was the general consensus. They gave a little leeway since we were first timers but were also quick to clamp down on dodgy lockouts etc. Loaders were also seamless so thank you. Second event grip, previous PB only 28 seconds which I matched. I never really had it right in my right hand so I feel disappointed because I could have done better and thus was last in this event. Loading, I was first up again and knocked 12 seconds off my previous PB, setting a good time of 26 seconds. Fastest was in about 15 seconds from Danny, I believe. Very pleased with that one. Quick break for everyone to clean up then into medley. Yoke 220kg 12m then duck walk 12m 160kg. I just planned on doing it without any drops which I did. Although I was up against a very good polish guy in this event who beat me by about 4-5 seconds. Again happy with this one. Best effort in this was the other Polish guy (johnnydebaytor) who soldiered through it very well. Deadlift to finish, felt fresh still. PB was 9 and I managed 8 which I was very pleased with. Highlights was watching Nick smash 13? out maybe more, and seeing Ian pull out 8 reps which was a massive PB for him. I finished joint 12th overall but if I had not bombed the grip I'm sure I would have been in the top half. Big thanks to Brian and the whole crew for organising on the day, and for the training and tips throughout my build up. Lessons learned for me are not to let nerves/adrenaline get in the way of setting yourself for a lift (grip!). I really enjoyed it though and everyone seemed to have a smile on their face at the end. I think it was fitting for Nick to win as he has the most potential out of anyone (IMO, especially given his age). Bit gutted to get beaten by my mate Ian on the day but he deserved it he truly had a blinder! There was a fairly packed crowd and even people peering through the windows lol, one old bloke even gave me a wink before the grip started so maybe it was his paedo ways that put me off who knows! Think I'll probably drop a few kg and do the u90s next year, definately got the bug though. | ||
