Kev, I'm so crushed that meeting me wasn't the highlight (or lowlight) of your season. Getting thirsty, Rick |

Not to be sappy but the highlight for me was when my neurosugeon said "go ahead pick up whatever you want, throw whatever you want, you're OK." Everything after that was just a bonus. ------------- Andrew G Vada a bordo CAZZO!!!! |

Jeff- Of course you can, ... but you must have a highlight and a lowlight. BTW- the only caber I didn't turn this year was Kevin Neis' caber in Chicago. -K ------------- Winners are remarkably adept at figuring out what's required to win. |

Had an ok year,considering I only had one practice all year(just not enough time with work,kids,gym lifting,house,etc)but have a good base for next year 2007 Marks... Braemer stone..32-4(down from career PR of 33-3 but best in two years) Open Stone 42-10(down from 3 years ago PR of 43-10) 28wfd-42-5(PR of 4yr ago was 44-9..but broke 40 feet in all but one of my games) 14wfd(my sore spot all season)71-10(down from three years ago 78-11) 16Hammer 72-6 12 Hammer89-1(only 10 inches from PR) 28wob-15-1(down from 16-0...had 16-0 + way many games just need to get more accurate) Games entered-12 games 10 1st places 1 2nd place(to a much improved Kate mason) 1 DNF due to injury/illness presently ranked #2 on nasga behind the great Mindy Pockowski Might have one more games on 11/3 but it depends on work comitments.Had my husband break out training logs from three years ago to see how I can get back-we have agreed to lift heavy and hard(ala Craig Smith) and practice footwork once a week(which will be more thasn I did all this year) hope to break all 2007 games marks..win more games..and travel to MWC

Season ain't over yet, but so far it has been great. I finally started throwing in proper footwear. And, basically due to that, at one particular games I PR'd in Braemar, Open Stone, HWFD, LWFD, and Caber. I will have competed in 9 games total. Won some, lost some, had fun at every single one. Looking forward to next season. ------------- DO NOT DOUBT IN THE DARKNESS WHAT YOU LEARNED IN THE LIGHT |

AncientWRholder - I really like what you got werkin' here. I'm gonna get in this. 11 games 9 top 5 finishes, 7th at the National Champs, 1 DNF that got me 6th. BS - 42'8.5" pr
OS - 55'5.5" pr
28 - 83'6"
56 - 42''4"
LH - 125'2"
HH - 109'9.5"
SH - 30'
56 - 17'1" pr
Highlights - still being able to maintain a top 10 ranking, somehow throwing 3 PR's in a season, considering i never thought i'd throw a PR again. Talking and discussing throwing with everyone.
Lowlights - Injury and injury. kept me from doing alot of the things i thought i could. eh...there is always next year. maybe ;-) ------------- |

Ok... This was my first full season competing, so I have a lot of PR's so I will only note the ones that matter.... I competed in 11 Games. I did manage a "B" class victory in 1 game, but came in or at the bottom of all of the other events, but right above me were some of the best around so I feel pretty good.
BS - 25' 7"
OS - 31' 1" PR (I hit this at my first game, it went down and down then I hit it again at my last game so it was an improvement.)
28 - 50' 7.5"PR
56 - 21' 10"
LH - 72' 4.5"
HH - 59' 11" (I hit this three times... Why is 60 so ellusive...)
SH - 19' 6" (blah....)
56 - 11' pr (This was a big one for me....)
I competed in as many games as I did at first to become friendly with the other athletes so that I would know them better to perform my AD role in Maine but I ended up getting hooked and meeting some of the best people around.
Highlights - Seeing my 11 year old daughter throwing the womens implements. Having Hapy give me advice that immediatly translated to inches on my next throw. Holding my own against Will Tagye his first event. The Maine Games.
Lowlights - The kilt incident.
Well, I have one more competition with two goals... Getting that 60' in the HH and breaking 35' in the OS...

My season sucked Games entered 0 the only plus is that meant no last place finshes for 2007 best throws -none Judged 11 games-didn't get killed by any athletes so I guess ok (except one feamle athlete who thinks I slighted her-but she can pound salt up her ***) Annouced 2 games-wasn't run out of town so I guess ok GOALS FOR 2008 throw in a games and not come in last or behind Dr BIll ------------- JUST BRING IT / SPEED KILLS..BUT STRENGTH PUNISHES |

What the hell, I'll post so everyone can feel better about themselves First three games ever. Took a 5th & 2 2nd's in the C class everything I do is a PR BS 24'1" OS 30'7" HWFD 15'7" (we normally throwthe 42 & I was lucky to get this mark at all the one time I threw the 56. Shouldn't be hard to improve upon w/ pratice) LWFD 42'8.5" HH 57'5" LH 71'1" ST 20' x 20# bag WOB 13' (haven't tried the 56 in a comp yet & my aim sucks / it'll fly alot higher just not backwards yet) Like I said no wear to go but up. I have noticed everyone I'm looking up throws dbl if not farther. Man I've got to lift harder Highpoint was simply being allowed to compete, I've alot of guys in the last couple months who demonstrate a high level of ingerity w/ there actions. It's a hard crowd to find nowadays. Many thanks to John Springer for letting me compete & Jeff Loosle & his club for their friendship. Lowpoint (you'll enjoy this) was getting a negative 10' on me first HH attempt. I started to fall backwards, didn't want to release the hammer & hurt someone so I held on. as I started to do a nice back roll in my kilt my left shoulder popped out of the socket & the hammer went in front of me Man it's got to get better next year. ------------- |
