OK All-

This is starting to get me excited to compete.

Alan-when and where? Let me know so we can get to hurting ourselves!!

EDIT

Just noticed-this is my 100th post! Neat!!

Tim C is talking to Bill about when he can come over to get us started on the technique. I think we can use the throwing field at one of the high schools I substitute at...will be double-checking tomorrow.

So for this month I'm swimming when I can, working out with my 15 and 25 pound dumbells, doing squat-jumps holding on to both the 25 pounders, and masses of sit-ups. I figure that's a reasonable start.

I'll probably go down to Orchard Supply hardware and get a 50 pound bag of sand in a beefy polypro bag. I can tape that sucker up bigtime with duct tape and hoist that around and throw it like a caber, and it'll cost me all of about six bucks. It also won't chew up the lawn.
