Was all sorted by the end mate.
Ben is a beast & a very nice guy.
Fred was very unlucky but def a threat
for the future.
Will ? won the other comp pushed hard by a pole
who smashed the s**t out of the loading race.
Not 100% but i think the 2 of the top 3 were 105`s.
I`m burnt to fook.
Nice to see JT again.

Quick write up of the comp

To make weight I had to lose 5kg in water overnight, this played havoc in my first event

so 280kg Frame walk for 20m
started off on fire I was steaming down the course then just lose it, dont know whether I tripped, I dont really remember much of it anyway fell over 2 m to the line, got up fell over again, 2nd time looks very like i just sort of black out but finished it off think I came like last

Max log
Managed to get 130kg which I was happy with I had the 135kg up then felt my back jar dropped it behind me, then it wasnt going up again,
2nd in the 105s

Conans 280kg
First time I have ever done this event, managed 2 and halfish turns felt ok gripped slipped after the second turn, came 2nd in 105s

Milk churn 100kg
Grinded out 4 and a bit laps enough to give me 1st in 105s and overall seem to be quite good at these events where I just have to suck it up and walk so more of those in future comps please

Barrell loading
It was me against Ben I would of had to beat him by quite a margin to take the win overall, he just knicked me at the end and he took a well deserved win.

Overall I was 2nd in 105s and 3rd Overall

All in all great event, glad I competed in it, maybe if I was a little less dehydrated at the start and finished my frame walk it might have been a different result but I didnt and Ben got a great win

Looks like a very good comp. 130kg log for 2nd in the Max Log is very very respectable mate. Top work!

In fact a few got moved up for the same reason as I understand it. It's one of the reasons we also had some last minute entries (calling the night before) and others signing up on the day (by prior arrangement).

GET YOUR NAMES DOWN Grin


Spot on. I'm seeing more and more (and Sugden can be the worse for this) complaints and negative comments (and yes I'm aware of the irony of saying so meaning I'm b**ching too) on how comps are run, how much it cost and so on.

Those that promote know only too well that regardless of what you do, how well run something is and the like some f**ker will moan and b**ch. Equally, as a competitor (and promoter too) I understand the passion of wanting things to go well etc. But comments need to be constructive.

Constructive in this context means not commenting at all. Either sign up or don't. If, as Rob says, many have said there's not enough events, then saying an event shouldn't go ahead because not enough signed up for it kind of shoots the idea of more events in the foot. It'd be better to get more mates involved and bang the drum yourselves so more take part than to be dismissive.

Start to think in bigger terms. How, where and what the sport could be like if it was more popular. Then list, in a constructive way, helpful ideas here on Sugden (a la the competition day article). Or send a friendly helpful email to a promoter. Better still offer to help the promoter out!
