St .Pattys strongest laddy write up.

Woke up at 5:30 and immediatly set my alarm for 6:30 my thinking was i could just drive faster to get to the comp. 5:45 talked myself into getting up because I wanted to go to the coffee shop before leaving and it was a bit out of the way.


Got coffee stuck in my old school mix cd (coolio ,skee-lo ,lil troy etc) and jammed on down the road for a few hours.

Got checked in and went to the event location.

My knee felt great but I wantes to be cautious.I taped and double sleeved it for good measure. Amazingly it held up and feels great even after the comp.


First event ,Yoke /farmers medley:
Dont know my time but I know my legs almost buckled form me going so fast .Fat Kids arent made to sprint especially with 300 pounds in thier hands.Won this event.

Second event ,overhead press medley:
I got to go second in this event and knew all I had to do was be quick on the log .I was so quick I smacked my chin and didnt even realize it .


Third event :the dreaded tire . I lost this event by a few flips .

Fourth event:
Duckwalk/sled medley:
I dont know why but it seems they enjoy finding the hardest stuff for us to do.i had never seen a duckwalk like this it was the width of a propane cylinder and the handle was at most two inches above the implement.The implement wasnt heavy I simply couldnt move fast with it.By the time I got to the sled she was near the finish line with hers she won this event.

Stones: I was spanked by her on this event . My stones suck at the moment. Something I will be focusing on.

Overall I had a great time.It is always nice to see the local strongmen get together.this comp was FAST .We did 5 events in two hours trying to beat the rain .

Trentracks came down and watched.i feel like a shithead because I didnt even realize he was there until the 3rd event. I get in my own world when competing . I appreciate the support TT .It was great to see you.

damn that tire looks huge as hell. that is a weird looking thing in your training partners hand.

brb googling duckwalk

 

[NutNut]

That is an odd implement even for duckwalk.....

I think you will come in stronger next comp but good job none the less.

 

[400Lb Gorilla]

wow odd looking exercise.

 

[Rottenrogue]

everything we do is odd .I have learned to never expect anything. Events can change at the drop of a hat and the weights are rarely what they are supposed to be. i am fine with that it is that way for every one so it is fair . I think that is one thing that seperates us .There is nothing uniform about what we do .There are no "set" implements .

 

[Halo]

Great job RR, looks like it was a blast except that duckwalk LOL....

You achieved your goal. You qualified for nats. Nothing more, nothing less. That's my girl!

Now you have 7 months to just get stronger and not worry about competing. And get quick like ninja.

If I can add....this makes me sad purely for selfish reasons. The odds are very small we will see each other anytime soon this year.
