Events 3/6

I kind of felt shitty going in, but got over it and turned out having a good day.

Press Medley

Warmed up with some axle. Worked up to 245x2 or 3 and then got into the medley.
Medley is 225 bar, 240 8" log (we use the 12), 260 axle, and 280 12" log.

I went through the first three fine, and the clean on the 280 log kept slipping. I would like to press the last log, but am more concentrating on my time through the first three. My second run I got through the first three in just over 20 seconds.

Farmers
The weight is 280 at the competition for 80'. I planned on doing one run at that weight and letting my grip recover otherwise. I did one run with 210 per hand to warm up a little and wanted to just go 280, everyone else did a run with 260 and a Ian decided he wanted to try 300 so I got sucked into doing 300 instead of 280. I wasn't real excited about it, but ended up taking it around 110' and stopped because I was in the middle of the street at that point. The way it felt I could have gone farther easily.

Duck walk Sled drag medley for 50'
I did this in 40 seconds last week.

Duck walk was 250, it will be 230 at the comp. Sled is 450.

I made one run in 28 seconds. It was fast, but I think somewhat of a fluke because for whatever reason the sled absolutely flew so I must have been going downhill or something.

Stone load for reps, 270 stone in 60 seconds.

Last week I got 8 reps.

I ended up with 10 reps in like 59.5 seconds. I'm happy with this and hopefully 10 will be good enough to be in the top 3. I am pretty confident in my stone loading ability at this point so I'm not too concerned about this event, it's going to be more of a conditioning test for me.

This event will be after a truck pull at the competition too.

Overall a very good day as I got a PR on everything. The farmers was a huge PR for me mentally. Now if I can press the 280 log in the medley I will feel really good about my chances to do well in a couple weeks.
