Truck Pull - Chevy Silveradox 80ft slightly up hill - Everyone had a bit of trouble starting the truck so I was a bit concerned about going but I went up there leaned back and got the truck rolling. Once it was past the initial 10ft that was uphill it actually moved pretty fast ended up with 26.20 secs then Jesse went and got 26.19!!!!!!!! 1/100 of a sec. That was amazing! Car Deadlift- maybe 800 in the hands- Again I saw a bunch of guys including Tim Nagy, a monster puller, fail on this so it was also a bit intimidating. So I went up there and gave it a tug and it came up! I wanted to pull 5 reps but on the 2nd rep I felt a pop on the inside of my leg so I pulled a 3rd rep to tie with Odd. Kevin of course came up and pulled 5 reps for the win. Press Medley- inch dumbbell, 330 log, 320 axle- Everyone was getting the inch dumbbell but the axle had been missed due to (I think) the sloshing of the water in the tires. So I hit the dumbbell, moved to the axle cleaned it (extremely difficult clean!) and pressed it! I was the only one to get it so I was stoked with that. No one got 3 implements so it came down to who pressed the inch more times and I think it was a 3 way tie between me, Jesse and Odd. Tire Flip- 900x8 flips-Did the flips in 29secs. Jesse did them in 26. Nothing else exciting. Stones- 280-330 54in platform, no tacky- Ok so at this point I think Jesse and I were very close in points. I think a stone win would have given me a contest win, but Im not sure. So I went up and loaded them all in what I thought was a very fast time of 22sec .then Jesse came up and smashed them in 18secs! I am a good stone loader and I thought Jesses run was very impressive. Train without tacky more? Not unless I see more no tacky shows. All in all this was a very fun show that I had a blast doing! Thanks to all the guys who came out, that is the best part of local shows, just hanging out with some friends and having a good time lifting huge stuff. Thanks for reading. |
