FERGUS GAME DAY

Well, I wrapped up the competition week on Thursday with some decent snatches and better overhead shotput which indicates that I'm fairly explosive currently. I had a less than ideal travel schedule as I was a late add to the comp and had to find a flight that wouldn't screw up my work schedule too much. I ended up missing a few hours of work to take a late flight to Toronto. After all was said and done, I was in my rental car on the way to the hotel at about 1:00 AM Toronto time and in bed at about 1:45 only to wake up at about 6 to get to the games on time in Fergus. A Monster, gas station donut, and muscle milk later, it was go time.

I knew I had a decent chance to end up in the mix of the top 3 but had my work cut out for me. I ended up 2nd in the heavy open stone, 3rd in both hammers, nothing crazy here, really need to find the groove in the hammers, I won the 56 and was 3rd in the 28. In a crazy turn of events, I was able to win the comp caber with a 12:30 throw which I really needed, and then it came down to the 56 for height in the overall. I needed to win outright to have a chance on count-backs to win against Lorne and was able to do so on my 2nd throw at 16'. Should be automatic, but it hasn't been for a while...which just means I need to get my standards out again and put in the time. I was very happy to get the win overall in a good group of throwers and to do it when it mattered. Biggest weaknesses are hammers and I really need to get those to progress in the next few weeks. 

I have a few weeks off before P-Town and need to be hitting on all cylinders there to have a chance on the podium.
