Right heres my write up, bit late, but ive been busy dying  Scott matthews - 105s 1st Event - Medley Was about 5th in the running order so got to see about 8 people go head to head before my go. Wasnt pretty viewing, a couple couldnt get the farmers of the floor, the ones that did finish the farmers handled the keg with ease, then went to the drag of doom. Was pretty worrying seeing every competitor who made it to the drag DIE afterwards! So then it was my go, picked the farmers up and off I went, about 6 metres in my left hand tore and dropped. Had Gates screaming at me, picked them straight back up and crossed the line. Picked up the barrel and got that over the line, then went for the drag. Had climbing shoes on, but just couldnt get any grip, the first couple of metres seemed ok, then it dug in and it wasnt pleasant work. Got about half the distance and time was shouted. Went and collapsed, couldnt move for about 10minutes, quads were shaking uncontrollably, left calf felt torn too! On talking with everyone else, most agreed that was the hardest thing most had ever done. 2nd Event - Dumbbell Things went rapidly downhill from here on in. In the gym leading up to this comp I was throwing around our 50kg dumbbell with ease, if anything the comp DB should have been easier as it sat higher on the shoulder. For whatever reason, more than likely not being recovered from the medley, I was screwed! The one time I managed to get it comfy on the shoulder, I got a rep easily, but that was the one time, for the others it just wouldnt happen. For anybody competing next week, TRY THE DB OUT FIRST! 3rd Event - Deadlift Again, in training I was hitting double figures comfortably, here though the first rep felt like 300kg! Managed 6 reps. Dissapointed with this, but its all a learning curve I guess. 4th Event - Yoke Dont even know where to start on this one! In training I have done 245 over 25 metres pretty quick! Here it was 250 over about 15m and DAMNNN it was hard work. Out of every event, this was the one where I anticipated doing ok, and it was probably the one where I finished last hahaha. 5th Event - 120 stone Having only even handled stones once due to the new gym in Leic having H&S problems with its flooring, I was dreading this. Even in training I had only done a 110 for one rep, so I was fearing a no lift. Managed 2 decent reps, couldve possibly got another 2 but my shirt rolled over the stone as I lifted, will remember that for future! Overall Great day, Great bunch of lads in the 105s, learnt a lot about what I need to improve on, mainly event training and endurance/stamina. Thanks to Graham for a great organised comp, thanks to all the refs for some good egging on when it was needed. Above all, thanks to Lee gates for letting me kip on his couch the sat night, and thanks to him and Millsy for giving me a tour of the gay bars in Leeds sat night too. Not sure what was more disturbing, my poor yoke, or seeing 50yr old men pole dancing to YMCA... Good luck to all next week!!! | |||

| But what is they come top 3 just because the standard isnt that great? There are multiple factors here, but surely the only way to judge somebodys eligibility is to put some numbers down for them to compare to? | |||
