I know I know...I found when I gained weight too quickly and was hitting in the 210 area that I developed a horrid case of sleep apnea. Plus I had plans on competing in the 190lb weight class and when I got to that weight level, I decided I wanted to throw in C class to try and break my 3rd place streak. Sooooo...back to the weight gain again, just a bit slower than last time. ;)
 
I'll have plenty of pics coming for you guys. You know, since you're so damn demanding. ;)

I don't get it. ???

Oh! I'm going to be on TV. The news is coming out to interview some of the competitors and I was invited out to flip and drag some of the stuff and be interviewed on TV this Thursday. Awesome.
 
Best of luck Evo - I love watching strong man comps on TV. I am often in awe of the freaksih strength of some of the competitors.

Do you know what the individual events will be ahead of time?

And yes, youtube it ;)
 
This was a very cool competition. It's kinda' like the Highland Games in that it's unlike any other sport. It's also very sport-specific training needed to fair well. Unfortunately it wasn't as well organized as it could've been. Also due to the near stupid rain we had, the guy organizing moved it to a cement platform which was stupidly far away from the crowd. As such, very few pics were really gotten. I'll be checking to see if one of my fellow thrower's wife got some pics later today.

I tried to get some motion shots, but my camera phone sucks and they all came out blurry. I did okay...I was still nursing a sprained ankle which sucked on the sprinting portions and the ending of the farmers walk.

I do have a pic of me with the tire on my desktop...if anyone can tell me how to put it up when it's saved on the computer, that would be cool.
 
Here's what an example of a 650lb tire looks like. This event was timed for 4 flips. And, yes, I was kilted.
