7/25/09 1st Strongman Competition
Considering, I decided to do this show a few days ago I really couldn't expect much as I was not very prepared. This was the show of the medley lol unfortunately for me I never did a medley before. 3 of the 5 events were. I never touched more than half of the implements before and I know I can only get better with practice.
1st event- 210 atlas stone/200 keg/200 tire/200 pipe carry. (50 feet each) I got the stone, keg, and tire, and ran out of gas and time on the pipe. My hamstrings were on fire like never before. Not a good start.
2nd event- 180 log/200 axle/ 130 keg/230 log
Got up to 230 log. Made the clean missed the press.

4th Event 500 Yoke (50ft), 500x3 tire, anchor pull 500lbs (50ft).
Got about 25 ft with the anchor ans ran out of time. I wore the wrong shoes and could get no grip and did not realized I should have rowed it.
5th Event 300lb atlas stone for reps over 48 inch.
Yeah right lol. I got it about 1 inch off the floor. I never touched a stone near this size.
I have more videos but youtube is taking forever right now. I learned more about strongman today then I did in the last year. Prior today I never touched a keg, yoke, tire, anchor, pipe carry. I can only get better and I will. I had a blast though and will certainly do it again and everyone was real cool.
