XMTS athletes tear it up at the Seaside Highland Games

[Alan H]

Xmarks athletes...me, MacFhearchair, GoodGirlGonePlaid, Martin Roy, ecklarkb, RogerWS76, and AZWildcat...(and mrs. Wildcat) all converged on the Seaside Highland Games this past weekend. Also in attendance were several members of the Cardinal Highland Athletic Club (MacFeachair is a member) to make what will probably be the biggest gathering of X Marks the Scot Athletes in one, place, possibly EVER....

.... or at least until next year!

I'm still hunting for some pictures of Martin Roy and AZwildcat. I think I've got a couple of Mrs. Wildcat. All of this first batch of pictures are courtesy of the photographer....good friend Dana MacDonald.

Some big ugly guy hanging out with the lasses….me, MacFhearchair, hiding behind me with the stylish sunglasses is GGGP.



MacFhearchair dishes up a big weight throw…



…she does pretty good with a rock, too.



GGGP winds up the heavy weight for distance…

GGGP sticks a Braemar stone throw.



I pulled tape on Sunday, while the lasses did the BUSINESS.





Guys, just curl up and be jealous. THIS is who I spent my Sunday with….

Well, it was all about the lasses on Sunday, but us guys got some licks in, on Saturday....

It took me about an hour to realize that I had my shirt on backwards…. talking to Steve M. here, while Roger takes the range on a monster sheaf toss in the back of this photo..




What's wrong with this picture? Yes, Roger has pink Nike under-eye glare guards on.



Hey, a good light weight for distance toss!

[Alan H]

Roger builds some "separation"….he stuck three very good two-spin light weight for distance turns on Saturday!

I wish I had some more shots of AZwidlcat and Mrs. Wildcat.....I might have a few on my camera, will check later.

Thanks again, Dana MacDonald for all the great photography!
