Did some bladeless hammer to get a feel for it for Claw. Bladeless 16# hammer x12 first 4 were nice and easy and then tried on the last 8 best of 117'. Pretty happy, but I know I wont be hitting this in the comp as I'll be 4 events in by the time we get to it. Hoping for anything over 110'!

Pacific Northwest Scottish Highland Games, Enumclaw, Washington PROS: Josh Goldthorp, Luke Crowley, Chuck Kasson, Nathan Burchett, Jeff Kaste, John Van Buren, Damien Fisher, Kyle Lillie 24# Braemar- 33'6 eww 17# Ostone- 43'5 ewwww HWFD- 41'9 LWFD- 77'7 16# Hammer no blades- 108'5 Sheaf- 27' WOB-14' ewwwwww Caber- No turn Overall: 8th Placing aside, kinda bummed with how I did but also not entirely surprised. Training has been something I've been finding time for vs making time for with the new house, projects, and my son. I'm pleased with the weights but could have gone further. Really got all discombobulated in the trig a lot, ya know, like a noob. Hammer was whatever, I think I could have gone MAX 112 so 108 isnt horrific. Stones were the big issue and I have a lot of work to do with them. I am not getting any separation and my right foot is not staying grounded. I know what to do to fix it, but im not connecting the drills and the throws. Just more work. WOB was whatever. Sheaf felt fine, just need more up and less backwards. Onward to Detroit!

Was supposed to be traveling to Detroit for the Detroit Highland games but fate had other plans. Had my original flight cancelled late Thursday night, so like an adult, I rebooked a new flight with a new airline (as the other flights with Southwest were full). Then midway through Friday, a few hours before I was supposed to leave for my new flight, it was also cancelled. At that point I was in no way going to break even or feasibly get to Detroit on Friday night. So I called it, and took the L. I've never had to miss a games for travel reasons but I guess there's a first for everything. Instead, I rage lifted that afternoon. Warm Up Hang Cleans 135x3, 135x3, 185x3, 185x3, 225x2, 245x3, 245x3, 245x3, 245x3 felt easy Trap Bar Deads (high handles) 165x5, 165x5, 255x5, 255x3, 345x2, 345x2, 395x1, 415x1, 435x1, 455x1, 505x1 wow, havent hit this in 3 years. 345x5, 345x5, 345x5 And done. If I couldnt be throwing, I might as well lift heavy.

Decided to be crazy and throw. It was stupid hot/humid but I had a window while my son was napping. Warm Up HWFD 1-turns x3 best of 36' Fulls x6 best of 42' woah. New cue really working well. LWFD x5 best of 82' furthest practice throw in maybe 3+ years? Light Hammer x3 (was dying at this point) best of 128' So stoked to find out my body was peaking CNS wise for this weekend when I wasnt at a games. Oh well. Just gonna ride this until Fergus I guess.

Fergus Highland Games, Fergus, Ontario, Canada PROS: Owen Willems, Rob Young, Jamie Gunn, Jamie Trask, Jeff Kaste, Chuck Kasson, Dave Barron, Nathan Burchett, John Pilling, Tom Sroka, Lorne Colthart 25# Fergus Stone- 31'11 PUKE PUKE HH- 104'5 LH- 125'11 HWFD- 39'3 LWFD- 77'1 Caber- no turn PUKE Sheaf (not counted in overall)- 27' WOB- 14' Overall: 6th. Pretty disappointed overall. Couldn't find the handle on the stone at all and it broke my fingers all 3 attempts. I think with a proper flick 33-34 would have been doable and that would have bumped me like 4-5 places which annoys me. Hammers were the only highlight. I've thrown mildly farther there in the past but they are the best hammer marks I've had in a while so no complaints from me. Weights were meh. I should have gone 41'+ in HWFD but my last one I fouled. LWFD all 3 throws were essentially 77' so it's just all I had in that event. Caber annoyed me too because I've turned that same stick multiple times but my technique and timing was abysmal. It happens but it really hurt me this time. Sheaf was fine whatever. WOB sucked, I kept peaking behind the bar but for some reason didn't adjust. Overall I'm not pleased. I had the ability to get top 4, MAYBE top 3 had I performed the way I felt that I could have, but I under performed. Oh well. Still had a terrific time and Fergus remains in my top 5 favorite games of all time. Maine next weekend!

Sorry Fergus didn’t go as planned. At least you were at Fergus, one of the best games in North America! Good luck in Maine.

8/20/22 Maine Highland Games, Brunswick, Maine PROS: Jeff Kaste, Luke Crowley, Eddie Brown, Nick MacPhee 22# Braemar: 38'1 16# Ostone: 49'2 HWFD: 39'5 LWFD: 83'2 wooo Caber: no turn Sheaf: 26' boo WOB: 15' Overall: 3rd Tough crowd this weekend! And with no hammers, I was left without 2 of my better events to pad points. Very happy with stones. I recently started doing a reverse again in braemar which has helped me get out over the trig and it doesnt bother my knee. Open stone was great as I was getting my right under me a lot faster, a cue I've been actively practicing. HWFD was a bummer, wasted my first with a chopped up poopy 35' and then fouled a 42-43 footer. Just need more patience in the center of the box. LWFD was great. Opened with an easy 76 and then Nick hit 85' which fired me up and I really got my feet down quick which was awesome. Wasted my last one by trying to go turbo mode. Dumb. Still happy. Caber started with a too easy stick so we did our final 2 attempts with the usual Loon comp caber which I've never turned. Had a really good pull on it and I think figured out some stuff in the process. We'll see. Sheaf was fine but at 28' I just kept slowing down near delivery. Annoying. WOB Was fine too but I was shot by the end. Overall happy with the day and the group of guys was awesome (we threw with pro masters as well). I have a month off until Loon, my final games of the season and it's the same events as Maine, so I need to sharpen my height events and deepen my stones/weights.
