Headed down to throw in the Northeast Florida Highland Games tomorrow. It's a long drive, but it should be a fun time, and (as always) a learning experience. I'll report afterward.

Saturday 2/24/18
Northeast Florida Highland Games, Green Cove Springs, Florida This is a great game with experienced judges, enthusiastic announcers, and a nice flat field. We also had the bonus of being able to throw height events indoors in the horse arena in the afternoon when it was hot. Solid for us old guys. Masters 40-49 was a strong group of 13 -- some former MWC competitors and overall big dudes and then folks like me. I'm pretty sure I came in 12th on most things and didn't have any lack of fun because of it. It was a fun day, I did ok for me, and I didn't get hurt. All my throws were a little below average for me, and I felt stiff and slow. Could have been the long drive or could have been lack of talent. Either way here's how it shook out in throwing order: 42# HWFD -- 23' 2"
28# LWFD -- 36' 7"
16# Hammer -- 68' 5"
16# Open Stone -- 29' 1"
Caber -- 35°
42# WOB -- 12'
16# Sheaf -- 22'
I got to drive across Florida to spend a couple of days with my Dad after the games. He doesn't have a lot of time left, so any time with him is good time. Very glad I went. Tom |

Popped my SI joint doing squats last Friday. Not sure how that happend, but I was able to self-adjust it back in place and have been treating the pain like a regular sprain.
I took the entire weekend off except for some walking with the family. Muscle spasms stopped as of Sunday morning and I was able to do some slosh pipe twists today. Back to the weight room tomorrow to see what will hold. Tom |

Southeast Alabama Highland Games, Dothan, Alabama If you live anywhere within reasonable driving distance, you ought to try this games. It's low key, very fun, live rock music all day, caber in front of large crowds, good equipment, etc. Scotty runs a good one. I think there were just about 40 athletes across B's, A's, Masters', and Women's divisions. Scores aren't up yet, but I'm pretty sure I was mid to bottom of my class. Considering my class contained a lot of talent, I'm not bummed in the slightest. I threw pretty well for me. Highlights of the day include:
A little time off before my next game to get re-grounded and to get my hammers back up. Tom |

Week before last lifting finished up fine, but I didn't get a chance to log it. I had a significant death in the family last week, so I was gone all week. Hug your family frequently folks. Make sure they know you love them.
