Log Press for reps (250 pound log)
Tie for first.
I ended up with 10 reps. I was happy with 10, but definitely had a few more in the tank. I couldn't keep a good rhythm going because we were standing on a little downhill slope and I kept losing my balance at the top.
Tire flip (750 pound tire, 80 feet)
I'm pretty sure I got first.
This tire was short and fat and pretty easy to flip. I didn't feel like I was going that fast, but I was consistent and never slowed down.
Sand Bag Medley (100 pound sand bags, 80 feet, 4 times)
3rd
This was not my favorite even by a long ways and I'm pretty sure that the timer was a little quick on the trigger with at least one person. Either way, this was a pretty easy event and I got enough points to stay in the lead.
Truck Pull
2nd
Talk about a joke. Not one person moved this truck an inch. I'm not good at truck pulling by a long shot, but there were people there that had done this kind of stuff and couldn't get the thing moving. It was a full size semi and trailer and a good majority of the truck was parked on a downhill grade so that didn't help anything. They basically just made a judgement call on who moved the truck the most, or rocked it I should say, and gave me second.
Stone Series (255, 270, 315, 320, 340)
2nd
Once again I get to stones and get excited and try to go too fast and miss my first pick. I actually missed the first pick twice because I had my hands too far forward. Then on the third stone for some reason I got stuck at the top and took a second to get it on the barrel. I finished in just over 25 seconds. Not a bad time, but I was and still am disappointed with the time. I should have been able to finish in under 20 seconds. I also left some room for people to possibly jump me in placing. It worked out in the end though.
I finished the day with 41 out of 45 points. That was good enough for first place in the heavyweights. They didn't bring the 1000 pound tire for the extra event, and so instead they used some sort of formula to figure out the overall winner or whatever they called it. I ended up getting that too. There was some good competition here and I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
Melissa ended up winning the women's and qualifying for nationals, so everyone was in a good mood on the way home.
