Joni said:T - WTF! 3rd place - thats awesome mate  Cheers mate. Belive me, no one is more suprised than me. I put 120% into every event and I am f**ked today, but I didn't expect 3rd. Very happy, if not a tad nervous now about the NEC show! | |||

| 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 | |||

| Barnard Castle is a town off the A66. It is kind of near Scotch Corner, for want of a better well known location! It is in County Durham. | |||

| Due to the high demand for places at both under 90kg north qualifier and Barnard Castle May strongman events, athletes need to return entry forms and fees, ASAP. Some people have ask me why I have started the entry fee, this is due to the rise in cost of transport, fuel, t-shirts and trophies. As anyone will know times are hard and I can not keep funding competitions/events out of my own pocket. Bob Daglish Elite Strongman promotions. | |||

Found out my arches are collapsing, so thats affecting performance, pulled/strained something in my foream/bicep and today I may have broken my toe catching it on the door frame! Hopefully nowt else will go wrong! | |||
