My season summary

Kevin,

That was not beef!  Allways  order the chicken , and even if it is not chicken it will still taste like it.  Good fun saturday, I am going 28' next year with the sheaf and is's going OVER.

 

Kev,

Is it ok if I play as well?  The highlights...too many to list.  My first season throwing, and I have to say I met a lot of great people.

Indiana Highland Games  9 Place

Chatham 1

Naperville 11

Columbus 4

Chicago Pro/Am 14 (just behind Kevin)

Tecumseh 1 

I think I have one more game to go yet.

Braemar 27'1

OS 36'

LWFD 50'1"

HWFD 25'4"

WOB 11'

LH 80'10"

HH 63'8"

Sheaf 18' (20lb bag)

Can't wait for next year...

 

Jeff-

Of course you can, ... but you must have a highlight and a lowlight.

BTW- the only caber I didn't turn this year was Kevin Neis' caber in Chicago.

Had an ok year,considering I only had one practice all year(just not enough time with work,kids,gym lifting,house,etc)but have a good base for next year

2007 Marks...

Braemer stone..32-4(down from career PR of 33-3 but best in two years)

Open Stone 42-10(down from 3 years ago PR of 43-10) 

28wfd-42-5(PR of 4yr ago was 44-9..but broke 40 feet in all but one of my games) 

14wfd(my sore spot all season)71-10(down from three years ago 78-11)

16Hammer 72-6

12 Hammer89-1(only 10 inches from PR)

28wob-15-1(down from 16-0...had 16-0 + way many games just need to get more accurate)

Games entered-12 games

                        10 1st places

                          1 2nd place(to a much improved Kate mason)

                           1 DNF due to injury/illness

presently ranked #2 on nasga behind the great Mindy Pockowski 

Might have one more games on 11/3 but it depends on work comitments.Had my husband break out training logs from three years ago to see how I can get back-we have agreed to lift heavy and hard(ala Craig Smith) and practice footwork once a week(which will be more thasn I did all this year) hope to break all 2007 games marks..win more games..and travel to MWC

Highlights of the year was doing the Farmer's Walk in Maine, Competing

Stoner of Whol carry at Pipes in the Valley, and finally turning Wayne's #4

Next year I plan on doing the Las Vegas and Portland games out West,
and making another run at the ECC at Anne Arundel. I want to turn every
competition caber, and have more consistent marks in the OS, HWFD, and
LWFD.
