So the recap:

Event 1. Medley
I knew speed wouldnt be much of a problem, i ran with the keg and washingmachine, but i have only done the duckwalk twice, and this one had a long handle, that caused it to hit on my legs in each step, very painful en very akward to do, so lost points here that i shouldnt have

Event 2. Weight for height
Never trained this, had i trained it once, i wouldve def won this event, lots mega amount of points here

Event 3. OH medley
Easy weight, good speed, jsut ahd to press faster after the cleans, 3rd place here

Event 4. Hussafeld stone
Never done this, heavy on the breathing and my legs were on fire, need to work on conditioning, ASAP

Event 5. Deadlift
210, easy, 230, easy, 250....strongman easy, coulve doen 255/260 with hitch of course

Event 6. Stones
Was tired, hurt and didnt do it enough

Started to get some knee pain a couple of weeks ago, got worse after last PP max attempt, and really hurt it during the duckwalk, felt it throughout the contest, limited me somewhat on the stones and hussafeld

Overall im happy, good to know that i didnt lose because of lack of strength, but lack of conditioning and some dumb mistakes, good learning experience!

 

[Skeptic]

Great work man! You looked very comfortable in the contest

 

[ironheart]

glad to hear that you are happy with your performance next time you'll be stronger and more experienced keep it up buddy!!

 

[Storm]

you learn from your mistakes, just keep in mind that even with those issues you placed 6th! next time it'll be flawless victory!
