thanks mofos, f**king high time!

I think i was planning a light session with the nagging fear in the back of my head that if i have a s**t overhead session it will kill my drive for sunday.

But now i feel i am as ready as i can at this stage & level of strength.

ALL OUT FOR THE LOG!!!

Tough tough day! Very cold and windy. But awesome comp and good crowd, respect for them braving the weather! Very well run comp overall.

Actually felt pretty strong but conditions were such that pushing pbs on some of the lifts were just out of reach today for me. Everyone suffered a bit, but for guys like me it meant getting 0 from two of the crucial events, log and stone. So not really disappointed but still, way off the pace of this top crew of guys!

The placings out of 11 may be a bit off, cant remember.

Log - went apes**t for the first rep, cant remember much about it apart from it being close and me rushing it. Shared last with 0 reps together with i think 3 others?

Medley - loaded three implements, 110 barrel, 135 anvil and big 117 barrel, but the big barrel took a while so ended up with a slow time. 9th place.

140 Farmers for max distance - 18.7ish metres, poor, but around expected result, could have been worse. 8th place i think.

Deadlift for max, 20kg jumps minimum for weights i was using. 240 opener felt really nice, 260 went up strong too, strongest pulling i have done in months! 280 was a bridge too far. Shared 8th.

340 yoke for 20m - in training its been ok, but today it wasnt Happy Felt ok on my back but legs were jelly. Did about million pickups and ended up about 5m short of finishing it. Second last i think?

160 stone for reps - feeling pretty ok and fired up, lapping it felt good and then just felt like had no tacky, no grip at all, and since i am so weak without good grippy tacky, it was a no go.

Log and stone were big disappointments, but since they are my PB lifts nailing them in these conditions was going to be tough. I knew i was always going to be scraping the bottom at this comp, but had fighting spirit to pinch points here and there. That didnt really happen.

Next few weeks will just ease off a bit and do some stress free training for fun Happy Then preparation for the Englands qualifiers on april 10th will start full on.

Well done Joni - That was one tough competition, with top class talent and harsh weather conditions, hardly surprising that the PB lifts were missed.

I'm looking forward to seeing some vids mate Happy

Great stuff yeaterday Joni. Loading, farmers and deadlift were all really good. I think tacky was an issue for some guys, no-one was likely to get any stone pbs, (except maybe Ben-somehow) and everyone was fantastic, so no shame to get beaten by a bunch of freaks, but you already know that.

thanks guys!

aye that stone pisses me off, moral of the story is that should have had a mofo there with tacky and reapply on the fly. It felt so nice picking it up, and thats usually my toughest part.

a single with that stone would have changed my whole perspective of the comp Grin

Keep changing my mind every 30 minutes but at the moment i am thinking it was actually pretty s**t performance Grin

anyway! some vids:

Medley:



260 dead:



140 farmers:
