Livermore, CA Games 2007

[Monkey@Arms]

Great pics as usual W2F Its always fun to run into brother Xmarkers at these events. This was my first time at Livermore, and I thought it was very nice event. I particularly liked that you could listen to the bands and watch the games at the same time. My only regret was that I couldn't be there on Saturday to cheer Alan on.

Best regards,

Had a great time on Saturday and I'm seriously jazzed at getting within a hairs breadth of 40 feet on my 28 pound WFD throw.

It was also great fun to have Mom and Dad and Joan...AND my cousins at the event..that was a surprise, to see both Kathy and Eric. As you can see from the pictures, it was cold and windy in the morning....Joan is really wrapped up!

I *really* like that targe... and I hefted that claymore and was surprised to find out how balanced it was. My trashmo $40 claymore for the clan parades is so unbalanced that it would be hopeless for a weapon.

I'm looking forwrd to Campbell!

Goals:

40 feet in the 28 pound Weight for Distance
80 feet in the 16 pound Hammer!
turn the caber!

That hammer throw looks impressive.

I would like to have tried that when I was younger. If I tried it now, I'm afraid my arm would fly off with the hammer.

I gotta tell you, after about the fifth toss of that 42 pounds of weight over the bar, my shoulder was screaming *ENOUGH, ALREADY!*

I probably could clear 12' 6", but I was just tuckered out!

Didn't do any tissue damage, though, I feel fine today.
