Red Bull is banned in netball Member 799, 1484 posts | Here is my take on the day: First off, what a great contest. Really enjoyed meeting some great new (to me) guys and the crowd was AWESOME! Well run and organised show. Well done to Denny and Mark and the crew. Big thanks to Ken for keeping us right on who was up next. Really glad we didn't turn round and give up trying to get there in the snow, although passing cars on their roof or stuffed into trees did give me pause to think if it was worth the risk; it was! I was very impressed with some of the performances. Jack continues to improve at a pace, his overhead especially. Colin Jones, who I was lucky enough to go head to head with twice, was great. He pushed me hard, beating me in the sandbags and getting a huge roar from the crowd. Got you back on the stones mate, just! Wayne Smith, a new lad who was on fire in the first event, but had bad luck on the last two, really impressed me. Hope you get somewhere to train events with other folk soon mate A lot of positives to take from your performance mate. Great to meet up with the guys I already knew too, as well as testing myself against the big lads. Strangely, I really enjoyed brutalising myself on the deadlift against Dean. Tried to keep the same rhythm as him, which is probably why I was seeing stars at the end! I was stunned with my 3rd place finish. Had not been really following the scores as I was too busy talking with the great bunch of lads I had the pleasure of meeting and competing against. I must have looked like a total plum going up for 3rd, as I genuinely thought they had missed my name out! Doh! Really happy with how it went, still a bit stunned, quite sore and tired. Thanks again to everyone involved. Tom | ||

Member 566, 813 posts SQ 280, BP 175, DL 340795.0 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq | JC said: Niall, to finish a place behind Martin, is quality. Must have been a ghood performance Not really good to gauge his performance on me mate. Not that he didn't perform well, I thought a lot of people perform very well and will go far. Unfortunately I had a s**t day. Nothing went right and most of all my head was f**ked. Can't wait to get back to training and sort things out. It was a nice suprised to see the comp finished on time, must be a first for me. | ||
