    Whooooo, man oh man.

    Stones were...well. Oh, dear. I need work.
    Hammer...I couldn't keep my balance, was flinging myself all over the place and only throwing about 72 ft.

    28 lb WFD started out ugly but by the end I was doing OK with 26 pounds in the weight. I even dropped one spot on the 40 foot mark.

    42 lb WFD...oh dear. Just....oh, dear.

    42 WOB...I spent my eight throws heaving the thing straight up, not up and OVER. Well, it WAS going about 11.5 -12 feet, but...

    All things considered, not hopeless but I have a long way to go to get back to where I was last May!

    I forget which class do you compete in Alan? B or A?

    Also how long had it been since you last competed?

    I just read in another thread that you compete in the Masters, so that answers that question.

    My last Games was Livermore at the end of May. I'm planning on squeezing in two more before the end of the season, both in October.
