So here's the update on my Games experience yesterday. No PR's (but what do you expect after a 3-year layoff from throwing?) but I did get two event Golds in the Heavy Weight for Distance and Weight over Bar. I choked on my best event and got bronze (Light Weight for Distance) and I got silver medals in caber and heavy hammer. Sheaf sucked as usual, and stone was ok but we had some strong stone throwers in our group. It was a good day, but I really wanted to win overall, instead I ended up with second. Two weeks to Tampa, and a second chance at winning my division.
I don't have any distances, except I threw HH 55.5' (bleh), WOB was 11' and I won due to zero misses, I took a 4th attempt on light weight for distance for shits and grins and threw 12' over the winning throw (that's what I get for choking on my 3 attempts). Oh, and the stone was smooth as marble, it was the shittiest stone I've ever tried to throw.
Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude
