Suppose to do last throw day befor meet tomorrow, suppose to rain, too. If rain, another light lift day or throw in the rain if not too hard.

Wasn’t raining at 0630. I could get some throwing in before it started. Unload all the implements at the field, carry them the couple hundred metres to the throws area, get set up. Clouds open up, downpour. Back to car, reload equipment, drive to gym, owner just laughs and hands me a towel. “That’s why I bodybuild, it’s an indoor sport”. Gave him the single finger salute.

Mother Nature is plotting against you. I think she wants you to come in second.

Ah well. Best wishes for the next meet.

Good luck at the meet, Harry.

Thought I’d check in on the ‘gorging’ :wink:

Good luck tomorrow!!!

Mutter Nature and I have a long standing love/hate relationship, Steve. She’s had her way with me a few times. She ain’t won, yet.
Thanks, Elaikases and Cav.
Night before a competition the meals always the same, Steely. Huge plate of spagetti w/marinara sauce, meatballs, sausage, glass (or 2) of chianti, ceaser salad, and vanilla ice cream for desert. During High School I worked at Mandos Italian Resturant and whenever I had a big sports event the next day, football, T&F, wrestling, that was my meal (minus the Chianti back then) Been having it ever since. Long on carbs I guess.
Last night, nice liesurely river swim, maybe 1/2 mile. Hot and humid today and suppose to be the same tomorrow.
Only had to work 8 hours today so gettin the meal ready right now. Gonna watch all the DC nation cartoons I DVRed and hit it early. 3 1/2 hr drive to the meet early in the morning.

Lookin forward to reading about your meet. Nice WO by the way 5x5 at 315 BP looks great to me.

Good luck, Harry. Do us geezers proud.

I’m almost vomiting reading your dinner. All that spaghetti has to be a gluten bomb, I remember years ago eating plates of spaghetti and spending hours in unbearable agony.

Looking forward to the meet results…Im sure you tore it up!


Thanks all. Very long day yesterday.
Shot, hammer, disc = 1st

Got some more pix coming in to post later. Shot vid

Excellent work Harry. Your trophy room must be full to the brim by now.
