I'm giving it a go

I'm back from my first competition. I 've a nasty bruise on my collar bone from a knotty caber. I've got ice on it now. I don't know if my wife got any pics worth showing. She didn't leave the shade. Oh yeah, it was around 97 degrees today.

Now that I've got my first one under my belt, I've got some goals to shoot for. And I don't care who you are 56lbs is HEAVY!

So did you have a good time?

I had a blast! It was different being involved in that part of the games. We were away from the clan tents, but we had a good group of spectators up till about 2 o'clock. I guess it was just too hot to sit and watch. All the guys were real good about advice and encouragement no matter how short your throw was.
