The good news: I made a small PR in heavy hammer today, throwing with one spike. I don't remember my stone throws but I made some progress in *how* I threw as I have been drilling stone lately a lot (stone and hammer are my only real implements)

The bad news: I threw WELL below even my averages on the stuff I'm good at.

There were two variables that shook me up, but the other guys had the same variables, and were just better prepared for them. I'm not blaming them, but myself for not being prepared.

One, the ground was sand... and that sucked with my new cleats that I was all stoked to get. By the time we went to caber I was wearing my sneakers because my new metal cleats were literally digging ankle-deep holes in the field.

Two, going in traditional order is not what B's do on our fields, B's go reverse order so we start with WOB, Sheaf, etc... because of this I was just plain winded by the time we got to my favorite, WOB. I didn't even clear 11 feet.

I need to improve my conditioning, which was doing well until recently when I'd backed off due to some back strains at the Brandon games two weeks ago.

So...

More throwing (coincidentally the only events that weren't useless for me were the ones I'd trained thursday)

More implements (I've got a ring handle, going to build one of O1d Dude's DIY 56lbers)

More conditioning (I need to stop sitting on my ****)

When my scores are up on NASGA I'll post them. I am pretty sure I hit 61' and change on the heavy hammer though.
