I know you pulled that sword out of a rock somewhere…
My sword’s been relegated to a back room closet right next to the shoe box with medals in it. Fame is so fleeting (and nonexistent in your own house).

Thats some nice power training you have going there Harry. At least the sword is in the closet. Mine would be regulated to the work bench in the garage.
Harold, great BTN. I have hang clean envy. I’m only like 100 lbs beind what you clean. That should only take me 20 years to catch you.
OOOOO, DB snatches. How could I forget about them. I need to put them back into my program sometime soon. I just have to figure out what they complement, maybe squats?
Let’s see, since last work out, lift, throw, lift, swim, throw, etc. Been helping with some work at the vets home so had some late nights. Weather has turned beautiful. Suppose to be mid 60’s and clear skies for the meet tomorrow. Have to run by the store after work. My tripod bit the dust from an incoming sheath at the last games. Hope I can get some good pix. Gonna be interesting seeing how I’ll do against the youngsters. Good news is I only have to travel 5 miles to the meet.
Good luck Harry! Give the young’uns Hell.

x2 and enjoy the good weather and the outing.
GO HARRY
Smite the largest youngster with your Sword, and the rest of the rabble will falter.
Good luck. Have a great time. As always we expect a complete rundown of everything that happened with pics if the camera setup is working.
Good luck Harry, looking forward to the pics.
Good luck HEL. Just remember real men use their teeth for the hammer throw.
another meet already? you da man!
Got some good vid of the disc but all the ones of the shot had some one standing in front of the camera. Haven’t had time to go through the stills yet. Around 30 competed in the shot and same in the disc, 3 flights. Long day. Colleges I can remember in attendance, Alabama A&M, Stillman, UofA in Huntsville, Tuskegee, Rust, bunch of others I can’t remember. I was the only non-college thrower. Results, 4th in shot and 5th in discus. Had a really super time with a really great group of young people. Hit the gym early this morning and got to run. More to come.
Posted vid, see if it shows up in a while.
Cool.
Late to the party. 8 12 y.o. girls playing volley ball in the front yard had me busy. Looks like you showed them the old dude still has game. The vid is great.
I think the speed and power of your throw made that kid on the left drop his jaw in awe.
That’s some Bad-Assery.
bad-assery indeed!
“I’d get ready to move in a hurry”.
Didn’t get that many pix of actual throwing. Very crowded. Almost lost my new tripod to a girls disc. Ended up coaching as much as I did throwing. Lot of big strong people at the meet. Saw a lot of wasted talent, too. Common theme with many throw’s programs is the coach was usually a former runner and the throwers are pretty much on their own. Promised to throw with the Alabama A&M kids whenever I could.
So, my foray into college sports some 30+ years later was a whole lot of fun. I use to wonder if I should have stayed in college.
After work today
cleans
btn press
snatch
curls
Another highland meet set up for the 20th and bunch more meets coming up.
