First off,
Great day. 7 athletes came out to take on the heavy events.
I'll be VERY brief as I am EXTREMELY tired from organizing, running, loading, judging and just helping out athletes.
Farmer's Walk:
250-50'
280-50'
305-50'
Only one guy finished it. Ryan Vance. guy smoked the course. Paul Rykiert and Vid Vain took second and third respectively.
Progressive Log:
220 - 8"
245-10"
270-10"
305-12"
We did this run 2x. First time, there was a misweigh on the third log and it ended up weighing something like 310lbs....gay. Anyway, all the competitors were cool and did it again. Cool thing was that this time everyone was warmed up and had a MUCH better performance the second go around.
Randy Cave won the event by STRICT PRESSING EVERY LOG. Vid Vain and Paul Rykiert took second and third respectively. It should be noted that I've never seen someone come as close as John Crocker did on the 270 log...not inches but millimetres from locking it out. Awesome. Timing was off, not strength.
300lb Keg Carry for max distance.
Everyone took it end to end, no one bear hugged it.
Paul Rykiert smoked it with a winning walk of 293'. Ryan Vance and Vid Vain took second and third respectively.
Max Deadlift -
Had all the lifters go one at a time because there were only 7 guys.
Paul Rykiert won the pull with 685 and ccould've done 700. Randy Cave, literally ripped the bar off the floor with 685 but lost it on the lockout. Tore his callus from his hand. Would've been cool to see the two battle it out if Randy would've used straps WHICH WERE ALLOWED lol.
Randy Cave and Ryan Vance took second and third place!
Loading Medley:
230lb keg
260lb keg
172lb thomas inch
300lb keg
320lb log
To be loaded on to back of trailer.
All athletes managed to complete the medley but NO ONE felt it was easy. Everyone had difficulty with the log, mind you, you wouldn't have figured that by their times.
Vid Vain won the event by 15 one hundredths of a second.
Paul Rykiert and Ryan Vance took second and third spots.
Overall results:
1st- Paul Rykiert - 31pts
2nd - Ryan Vance - 26.5pts
3rd - Vid Vain - 24.5pts
4th - Randy Cave - 20.5pts
5th - John Crocker - 20 pts
6th - Mike Mcgonginal - 12.5pts
7th - Peter Leach - 8 pts.
I'm going to bed.
