Breaking down and starting a new thread.
Yesterday’s results
Damn, everybody’s turning 50 and the throwers are coming out of the woodwork. I think half the population threw the damn discus in college and have decided to take it up again. This is actually a good thing as more participation means more meets.
Anyway, huge turnout of Master’s thrower’s. Had 2 have 3 flights in the shot and disc and 2 in the hammer. Made for a long but very enjoyable day. Turned into a tailgate party afterwards and I finally got home around 2300. Up at 0430 and into the water for a real long swim.
No Prs or great distances but wasn’t ashamed
Shot put 1st
hammer 2nd
disc 3rd
This afternoon
28&56# for distance
Looks like highland training for a while. Highland meet in 2 weeks, no age categories, so need to be ready. Haven’t got any other T&F meets lined up yet.
Would you trust this person on your property? An extremely un-studly picture sent to me by one of my customers.
Thanks to all. As all glory is fleeting it was back to training today. Haven’t forgotten my goal to DL 540 at 54. Re-inspired by bunny’s performance and HT’s vids. The DL has a good carry over to highland throwing so gonna hit em hard. The 540 will be videoed.

That’s the very image of your friendly neighborhood mailman! They ought to use that as a recruiting poster. Not at all like your other photos…
Not being rude, just took me awhile to find your new thread…way to go at the Meet! It’s nice to see you’ve set goals for yourself & are not afraid to work hard to attain them…the DL goal doesn’t seem far off esp. in light of the recent 480x3. Hard to make predeictions, but in my experience, add 50 lbs to your triple and that is close to what you mighht be able to pull for a single.
Some people are better at reps and others are better singles pullers, depending on which you are, adjusts your max…but this is all speculation on my part. All bullshit aside, I think you already are close to pulling the 540 and a new goal will have to be contem[plated!
Thanks Art, right now I’m shooting for the 540 and a “respectable” showing in the highland outing. Don’t know if there’ll be any other old farts but I got an e-mail from the guy running it that said, “Harry, at least one other old guy has entered, think he’s almost 40.” Ancient.
MJ, never, ever, mess with the pith helmet. That’s my wicker (sun) one. Also have white and blue plastic ones for the rain. Best piece of gear ever invented. Good thing the picture isn’t long enough to see the blue striped socks.
