Gonna fire the photographer. Me losing the caber and bailing out. Didn’t get one of my turning it.
Hammer, hard to remember to keep feet still. I wore javelin spikes, don’t have the special hammer shoes.
Hope this shows up. Hammer is in top part of picture.
That’s it for the pix. Had a great day that continued well into the night. This guys are not fasting thats for sure.
Great pics hel - looks like you had a blast!

That caber is really tough1 I can remember playing with one in college. Never could get that thing to flip
Great pics, Hel! Nice job!
Great showing Hel. Looks like a good day all around.
To the person who sent me the very nice PM, yes I have eyes, I just don’t open them all the way a lot.
Bought a pitch fork at the coop today. Got some really weird looks testing differeent ones out. I will improve my sheath toss. It presently sucks. I plan for it to suck less by my next comp. Maybe I’ll start listing my practice PRs, Sucks - 6’, Sucks -5’, etc.
Was going to deadlift after work today but about half way through my route today the lower back says, “want to play with the younguns, huh? Like picking up trees?” So I did some seated and laying stuff

Day off so didn’t have to hurry in the gym. Lower back still a little stiff.
Looks like I have another HG lined up for Sept. Got a personnal invite in my e-mail. Looking for something before that, either T&F, HG or even a push/pull if I can fit one in.
Got lots of yard work done today and took the big dogs down to the river for a bath/swim.

I like it when these guys warm up with my max - all around good work hel!
Sounds like a great meet. The pictures are awesome. Your background in throwing must have really come in handy. There are highland games every year here in NH. I need to go and watch one.
H, you truly live large. do you ever not have an awesome time?
Eco, A throwing background does help in the HG. That’s why the guys who specialize in the games call the sheath and caber the equalizers. Nothing else trains for those except doing them.
Mj, not real sure what that means but I usually enjoy things I chose to do or I wouldn’t be doing them. At this point in my life it’s kinda a matter of perspective. I wake up in my own bed and nobody’s shooting at me. All else is good. But just for you I’ll try to live small and have a less awesome time today.
