| Thanks Ray.....405 was tough....got all the way down but didnt have the gas to go back up. Need to focus on deep full squats so I am better at the drive from the bottom. Tend to cheat a bit when I am working out on my own I guess. We will do again in a few months...you should come out and lift with us. |

| WooHoo! Finished first full page of my training log! Throwing today was good. Weather awesome! Had 10 people show up to throw...had to split into two groups! Hammers felt good and seemed to go far...didnt measure though. caber felt pretty good considering probably only second time I have done it since last season. Everything didnt feel that great but was gassed from lifting this morning and didnt get many throws in because of the number of people out today. Gotta try and get out throwing a bit this week coming up because of Mothers day next Sunday! |

Had a great season opening back to back games in Comox and Victoria! I had a PR in each of the nine events atleast once over the two days! Cant remember everything but I will try and give close to new PR numbers. Braemar-(26#) 28'ish Open Stone(16.6#) 40' HWFD- 30' LWFD- 65'.....Huge 7' PR HH- 94 and some inches....5' PR LH- 115 and some inches....first day 5' PR from 104' to 109' second day 6' PR from 109' to 115'...very happy! (Almost had Mike Miller beat until he pulled out a huge PR throw of 117' and then 120' in extra throws!) Well done Mike! WOB- 13'...been trying to hit 13 for a long time...felt good and then almost had 13'6"! Caber- not a super hard stick but probably the heaviest I have ever turned....need to practice cabers more! Sheaf-(20#) 21' almost had 23' but hit the upright....I hate sheaf! Great weekend....pretty sore...time to get ready for Bellingham in 2 weeks!

Well......competed in the Bellingham Highland Games yesterday. Placed third overall in a field of 9 very good "A" throwers. The tightest comp I have ever been in. Only 6 points points seperated 1st and 3rd. I certainly dont have a problem losing to the two guys that I lost to.....besides evrytime I throw against them I am closing the gap! B-Stone- 21 lbs- 2nd place- 34-35ish....I think....cant remember. PR for me O-stone-17 lbs- not sure placing- 38 ish( need to work on this more) HWFD- 2nd place- 34 ft something.....4ft PR LWFD- Probably 4th- 61 ft something...felt like I had more just couldnt put it together. HH- 1st place- 95 ft something......1ft PR LH- 1st place 111 ft something WOB- 3rd place- 13 ft....was hitting the bar at 14 ft....very encouraging! Sheaf- 20 lbs- 2nd place...on count backs- 24ft... 3ft PR.....LOved the Diablo spitfire fork I was using....almost had 26 ft. Gotta get me one of those! Caber- 91 lbs....cant remember the length....was broken at one point in its life and has been put back together and splinted with Gorilla tape and pieces of re-bar! 55 degrees....sucked.....need to practice this event more.....especially if comps are going to be this tight on a regular basis! These number are not very acurate...will have to wait until they are posted in the Database to see for sure.

Well went to the Doc this week because its been over a month and I am still coughing like I smoke two packs a day. He gave me an inhalor with a pre-steroid(doesnt turn into a steroid until it comes in contact with inflamation)(Pretty sure its not a PED!). Only a few days in and it seems to be helping. Apparently the virus I had back at the beginning of May caused a lot of mucus in my lungs and airway and when I exhaled all the air wasnt getting out in time and worked against the new air I was inhaling casuing me to cough. The coughing caused inflamation and the inflamation caused fluid.....which turned into a viscious circle. Was putting a lift kit in a Jeep Wrangler at work today and caught a fairly hefty track bar in the dome! Said some profanities and saw some stars but think its all good. Got out and did some throwing tonight. Stone- Standing Throws x 10 Glide x 10....still struggling with my glide...need some help....maybe will take some video and post. Wish I could go to Matt V's clinic after Portland. HWFD- single spin x 3....27' Double spin x 3...31' LWFD- Standing release x 5.....50' Single spin x 5.....60' Double spin x 5....65' Spent...good night!

Well...all things considered I guess I cant complain about the outcome of the BC Championships in Coquitlam this weekend. I Did not feel prepared or very focused going in(even ran a red light on the way to the field!) But somehow managed to edge out a long time rival and very good friend Lance Barusch by 1 point....came down to the final event...sheaf....in the pouring rain...and I mean pouring! Heres how it played out.....distances are aprox. Breamar stone 26#-Lance 1st Adam 2nd- 27'(ish) Ray 3rd Open Stone 16.6#-Adam 1st-38'(ish) not happy but still enough to win Lance 2nd Ray 3rd HWFD- Lance 1st- 35'(ish) pulled out a big one to win on last throw Adam 2nd- 34'(ish)close to PR Ray 3rd LWFD- Adam 1st- 65' (ish) first throw and didnt feel like I got it all...close to PR Lance 2nd Ray 3rd At this point things are looking up for me...Lance and I are tied for points he will have me in WOB and Caber as long as I can take both hammers and sheaf then I am good! WOB- Lance 1st Adam 2nd-13' Ray 3rd HH-Adam 1st- 92' Enough to win but didnt feel like I was accelerating enough....feel like I have so much more there.....energy levels are slumping after long lunch break Lance 2nd Ray 3rd LH- Adam 1st- 107'(ish) see above...would not have normally beat Lance in hammers with these numbers but he was battling his own issues aswell Lance 2nd Ray 3rd Comp Caber 17'1" 83lbs(no taper)Lance 1st Adam 2nd 1:30 Ray 3rd Got a chance to try the Lou Ross Challenge Caber 19' 105#....didnt turn it...came close....think with a few more trys I might have had it. So everything went as I expected it to after the first 4 events. Now...after 8 events Lance and I are still tied in points and it all comes down to sheaf! And to top it off the most sinister looking clouds start to roll in and pile up against the beautiful coastal mountains in the background.....the first few drops hit me and I thought someone threw a cup of water at me! It was all we could do to wrap up the sheaf as quickly as possible and by the end I wouldnt be surprised if the bag weighed 30-40# instead of 20#. Adam 1st-22' Not sure if Lance or Ray came in second...but they both had 20'......and the sprint to the car was on! All in all great day and feels real good to win A class for the first time and to also win BC Championships for the first time...Thanks to everyone who stuck it out and helped out in Coquitlam!

Well...thought I would go and give the old thumb a try before this weekend and it actually held up pretty well.....not sure if I will wear a glove or hook grip....depends on the handles they use in MIN.

| Finished my season in Minnesota last weekend. Wow...the toughest competition I have ever been. I placed 12th out 13 incredible Amateur Throwers. I guess thats the reason for their names to be near the top of the rankings! Felt really good going into the day and didnt throw badly all day. I like to think I hung with the pack for the most part. Low light of the day...caber of course....I am going to wear some cabers out this off-season! Highlight of the day....5th place in HH...wish they did LH too... would of helped me greatly! Big thanks to Kevin Dupuis and his crew for organizing and running a top notch World Am Championships! |

I have been trying to make it work and with the help and support of friends and family I have managed to stay up on my training for the most part but the last couple of days I just cannot find the time or the energy to get it done. I have so much respect for single parents.... I will continue to try and find time and energy but I dont see it happening very easily. She gets home on Saturday and then its back to business....also just found out today that they got a moose already so that means good eats for me this year! |
