Sounds a little odd that only the top ten got points and no reverse running order after each event!

Adam you do have a valid point and if after three events you have had to go on your own and not in a head to head,how do you know the standard or times set!


I think the order was reversed on the third event and then the last even was against your nearest rival...

There is usually no prize, only the glory!

Plus then you get to aim for a 300kg deadlift.


272.5kg DL at under 120kg BW will be the best birthday present EVVVVEEEERRR. lol

Not an original idea but in the tradition of some good old fashioned Sugden wagers, who wants in on a race to a 272.5kg deadlift?

IMHO rules of entry should be:

1. Current DL 250kg or less (and currently I count as "less")
2. No suits
3. Hitching allowed
4. Standard oly bar from regular height
5. Other rules available on request Wink Wink


Obviously, we could tweak the rules before things were finalised.


im in...

250 clean single 10 days before the comp on sunday. Fancy it before my 21st - 27th October or at least end of the year.

Whats the prize for winning?

Run down of my First comp.

Farmers (Frame Carry)
Was pretty light, was about neck and neck down the course until i got the fecking wobbles and had to slow down a little bit. Coming about 5/6th in it i think. Should been higher. Roughly 9 seconds.

Tyre Flip
It was a 307kg Tyre, Got 12 or 13 flips. Id only done 6 with a 280kg tyre in practice so was super pleased with this. If it was straight line work id have fancied 15+. Still doubling my PB with a heavier tyre cant be bad.

Log Press
Got the 90kg press and 100kg presses like they were feathers. Everyone else picked 105 as there next weight, my ego got the better of me and i went for 110. Missed it, so only placed with the 100kg which didnt get my many points. Probably should have taken the 105 and shared 2nd place but then now id be saying i should have taken the 110. Great press by Bart with the 110 to win it.

Deads
Got 17 good reps and was denied 3 reps. Still dont really know why, one was a definite hitch but the other 2 i felt where clean. Really happy with this as its still a PB. I felt hitching should have been allowed for sure and the lifts should have been from a dead stop. But you got to play to the judges... We agreed on commands in the pre comp meeting but they werent used?! :S

Medly.
Really fancied this event. Was a bit slow on the duck. Turning at exactly the same time as Matt for the sprint back. Gave it all on the sprint to the keg. Got a really clean solid pick up away from my legs and pretty much ran down the course. Back to the sand bag, shouldered it and legged it to the finish. Dont know where i finished on this, but i thought it was quick as there was no walking involved after the duck walk.


Overall it was a great day, worth coming down from Glasgow for, and id happily do it again. Could have been heavier if i was nit picking.
Very happy with my 5th overall. Got some tasty protein for my efforts. Grin

Will look forward to contesting it next year again.


Want a DVD of pics/vids of the day - Send your address to s.t.taggart@googlemail.com or PM me.

fooooked, zero sleep was had on the bus from london to glasgow, from a combination of screaming babies and smelly indian men. Unhappy

Unfortunatly ive wreaked the ligaments in my left wrist, it swole up on the bus and i eventually cudn't move my hand much. Straight to A+E when i landed in the motherland and im now in a splint and popping the anti inflams. Still dont really know when it happened... Maybe when i slammed the frame down and basically broke it?! Wink

Enough wingeing from me.

Excellent comp glen, congrats. Bit of drama on the deads thou.. Wink

As i said to a few of you,
I had a mate of mine come down and take loads of photos and film the last two events. He took over 600 photos and think he filmed nearly everyones DL attempts and all the medly races. If anyone wants a copy of this, ill happily burn it all onto a DVD and mail it to ya. Just drop me you name and address to s.t.taggart@googlemail.com.

Overall im happy with my 5th place, still raging at my glory attempt on the 110 back firing and not being able to get just 1 more dead.... Theres always next time. I'll win it next year Grin

if you look at the kegs though please dont touch too much as I want to ensure the cement is dry properly for sunday


If im down early enough, i might take a look. Nothing better to do.
