Just an out of interest thread. What marks did everyone get in their first attempts with the games, and if you want to save yourself from embarrasment
 , you can include your improvements.

That's just rong.
Well, we could all agree to blame the event...
Caber turning requires carrying the right model of the event in your head. Once you get it, it's a lot easier (but you knew that). -Wayne (won't post his throws) |

I did my first competition with no throwing background and without ever
training with anyone...so it might give you a better "non-phenom"
baseline.
First Competition Open stone 33'4" HWFD 24'9.5" LWFD 45'7" HH 68'0.5" Caber 50 degrees 16# Sheaf 22' - had never even seen a sheaf WOB 12' After 2.5 season and 16 competitions here are my current pr's: Current PR's Open stone 42' HWFD 31'5.5" LWFD 62'11.5" HH 75'8" Caber 12:05 w/ 19' and 135# caber 16# Sheaf 32' WOB 13' |

Sarah, how much do the womens braemar and open stone weigh?
I posted my first results in the strength level thread. Best marks I thought were 44 in the open stone, 99 in the light hammer and a 12 foot WFH after going in at 9 and taking 13 throws to finish the comp! Plus hitting the bar on 13'. I'm doing a WFH this weekend, hopefully I'll beat that mark. |

I couldn't swear to it, but I think the Braemar's have been running about 14-16# & the opens are around 8#. Sarah |

Open Stone (16 lbs): 29'7.5"
HWfD: 16'1" LWfD: 38'1.5" Heavy Hammer: 53'3" Caber: 65 degrees. Don't recall what my results were at another games. Although, it was the first time I flipped a caber in a competition. The only other time I had managed it was the practice session prior. |

My first games was Warrensburg this year. Open Stone = 32' HWFD = 18' LWFD = 44' HH = 60' LH = 76' Sheaf = 18' x 20# WOB = 14' with 42# Caber = 65 deg; this one hurt because I had practiced a lot. Plenty of turns in practice. Choked in the games. Went out and turned 12 consecutive the next day just to get rid of the bad taste. |

Well, my first games was Sept of 2001. I didn't do another until Oct. of 2002. My first season I did was 2003, so I have 2 seasons under my belt, w/ somewhere around 17 games total. Sept. 2001 Last Season Stone 35'5" & nbsp; 45 HWFD 24'8.5" & nbsp; 34'8" LWFD 40ish &nb sp; 72'5" HH 82 &nbs p; 86'6.5" Caber 7 degrees(not 70) a few 12's here and there Sheaf 19 &nbs p; 26 WOB 11 &nbs p; 13'6"
This season, I have dropped 50lbs, so it seems like I am starting from the beginning again sometimes. Edited by JISurfer |

Yeah, well the other Burchetts can't look forward to the kind of
improvement you can make. I'm somewhat serious about this:
there's nothing like looking back and saying, "You should have seen
where I came from."

Yeah, I didn't even post my caber turn, because I didn't even turn it... This year, I already have three 12's at one competition! WOO! And yes, I'm really looking forward to the improvement I'll hopefully make this year! |
