We spent at least a good hour on some stone drills. They went' OK, not quite as hip-trigger-centric as last week, but acceptable. My full throws were shortish, I'm still sore and slow from Thursday. MUST get a more active left side.

LWFD... on very uneven ground, I was all over the place. When we moved to the flat surface dirt of the shot put landing area, it all went much better. Ditto for HWFD.

Caber... worked with a 14 foot 80 pounder for a while, then picked, controlled and got three pulls on a 17 foot 120 pounder. I'm pleased to discover that I can pick it and control it, but I am a long, long way from turning anything that big. That's OK, 120 pounds is a LOT bigger than anything I will see in a Games.
Wow, that's a big caber! I'm still struggling to pick our 16', 95-lb caber consistently. When I do it correctly, the pick is easy. Of course I still can't turn it. But most of the time, I can't even pick it...
