the weekend started with the frantic accumulation of steel and associated hardware to create a set of weight over bar standards.got them finished at about 11 friday night and zoomed them down to site .
got up next morning and got my skirt on and headed down to the park.what a glorious day,we had a fair crowd,we were in the corral by the selkirk hotel.everyone was kinda throwing lacklustre but the track guy,matt.he is 20 and he was just crushing every thing in site,breaking a pile of field records and winning the comp.
i was throwing about average but in the 56# weight for height i hit 11 feet which i have not done since last year.the standards i built took a beating second to none but survived beautifully,big dave r. piled the weight into the bottom of the crossbar with a rocket of a throw and shot back down at him and nearly took his head off.no fun if there is no danger.
the caber we had was this 17'6" 130 pound beast.i think only 2 guys turned it which was no small feat considering the weight of the thing and the moon scape that we had to run across.all in all it was a good day,got a sun burn,threw stuff and hung with the boys and that is what it is all about
