Due to one person pulling out, there's ONE slot available. Preference to someone who wears an XL t-shirt!

Was good meeting you and all the others. Having seen the pics, I now realise I need to start lifting and eating again!

Good lifting, think you got first or joint fist in a few events!

There are a few up on Facebook from various people. There was a redhead lady who I stalked - she was at the comp taking pictures.

I'll upload the pics when I get them.

Had I known, it would have been "Gladiator, ready? Contender, ready?"

Might be one in April.

Although mate a couple of things feedback wise. I thought the way the winner was decided wasn't great. Hunter got more reps etc with heavier weight on every event apart from stones than the guy who won the under 90, yet he still beat him overall! Thought it would have been better just to have separate winners. Also one of the guys I spoke to in the heavies said he'd competed in Londons strongest man under 90 and come third to tom Hibbert! I don't really think a novice /first timers comp was the right place for him! Nice guy though

Hi Rich - thanks for the feedback. Where possible, I Facebook stalk people to see what level they're at. I rejected two people who I knew were far too good for a novice comp. Your feedback is massively appreciated. Next time, we'll do the scoring as we go along to make it less of a rush at the end.

We worked it out as position = points - the least points winning. The winner by the biggest margin is the overall winner.

Next time, we may have 3 first place trophies, one for each class.

Glad it went well!

Didn't realise that Hunter was doing the comp! He was a colleague of mine until recently and we did a bit of strongman stuff together.

Were you secretly there? Did you not come say hello? How rude!
