Warrensburg Games

Good first games of the year. The weather was cool, but I didn't feel too cold, and my body held up well. I am sore as hell today, but that is to be expected.

Left in the morning at about 4, got to the games, warmed up and went to work. I hit a lot of good PRs, but really was just trying to feel out how my body was feeling in a competition atmosphere. I felt good, was mentally stressed on my weights for distance and caber due to some technique and foot surface issues for both. I was concerned about my knee as it was really giving me trouble a few days prior to the games, but I didn't need to be. It held up fine.

Some things that were good and some things to work on:
Good = Open stone, Hammers, Sheaf
Work = Weight for distance, Caber, and the most disappointing was the WOB. I need much more endurance for this event to stay fresh at the higher throws. I had 16' on my first throw on 14' and then never went higher. I had the height on 16, but no arch, then I was shot. Much more conditioning for this event is needed.

Had a lot of fun, and am looking forward to hitting some decent numbers 2 weeks from know in Wakeeney KS.
