Yaish is right--show up and compete!
You NEVER forget your first caber pick ;-)
I've found that our athlete's are some of the nicest guys and VERY helpful. Every event I've competed in, most of the guys spend the time between throws talking technique and teaching eachother. All you have to do is ask--and you'll have several guys helping you out. WE want you to succede and have a fun time too.
I've gotten some of the best coaching I could get--during an event. From a guy saying "Ya know, if you extend your arms just a bit more...lean back a little more--your hammer throws will improve" to full-on quasi-clinics on everything from stones to cabers.
Show up--have fun, listen, ask , learn--and again have fun! ;-)
