Up to northampton yesterday for a comp Julies first and my 4th
set off early to weigh in for 9am then off for breakfast, comp should have started at 12, not until 12.30 though
first event was Zerchers, i pulled a 170 for a new PB and missed 180, i think i might of had that if i hadnt competed last week. Julie got 115kg and failed 120.....agasin another pb..... it was last man standing and really dragged..... took nearly 90 minutes for event
it was going to be a long day
next up was log for julie and medley for me, julie got 7 reps, i managed the first 2 logs ok, but couldnt clean the 80kg axle, i really need to work on that as well as a lot of other things over the next few months
then sand bag loading, both julie and i missed the last bag, surprised julie and myself to a degree how fast i actually was
then it was a 150kg sled arm over arm with a drag back, i was placed with my next highest partner and it was real close, i shared the video across on facebook, only juat had him, julie did ok too
final event for us was the farmers walk (there should have been a wobble hold but in the end it was just used to decide tied places) i again moved pretty quickly and only just missed beating the guy i had beaten earlier, but i was fairly quick, julie managed this quite well considering she struggled to pick them up a few weeks ago
I finished 8th out of 10, and thought i would have been tieng for last place but obviously not LOL, julie came 5th out of 7 people.... but hell its still 5th place
happy eneough as i didnt make any mistakes and TBH some of the innovative items i used worked really well
finally got home about 9.45 after stopping to eat
