Thanks for the reply!! I had such a good time at the games, totally hooked now! And thanks for getting me (and indirectly GoodGirl) hooked up with West in OC.
Since I was in the novice category, I did indeed throw the 42lb weight for WOB & HWFD...
Here are my numbers:
Bramar Stone (22#) - 22'
Open Stone (16#) - 37' 2"
Light Weight for Distance (28#) - 47' 9.5"
Heavy Weight for Distance (42#) - 29' 4"
Light Scottish Hammer (16#) - 75' 4"
Heavy Scottish Hammer (22#) - 61' 5"
Weight Over Bar (42#) - 13'
Caber - 12:00
With HWFD I fouled the 1st 2 throws trying to double spin, so on the 3rd throw I just did a single spin to make sure I got it in. With WOB, I cleared 13' by a good foot, I could have gone higher, but since I was the only person to clear 13', we just moved on...
I also got everything on video which was GREAT because now I can see how lousy my technique is & I have TONS of room to improve! So lots to work on between now & Long Beach :-)
I'll post some vids, feel free to comment/critique here or on youtube....
