Strongman Comp Results

Well, my school bent me over and did me dirty to say the least.  The day started out raining and finally stopped.  There were 3 prelim events and the top 4 from each weight class moved on. 

First event was the farmers walk in sand with 150 lbs in each hand. 

Finish- 3rd out of 22 competitors, only one person finished.  I yacked right after this.               Video- I'm in the far lane in black

Second event was 300lb tire flip, most flips in 75 seconds, started to rain during my attempt.

Finish- 3rd out of 20 competitors with 19 flips (they wouldn't let the last two go to complete the event so they threw this whole event out, which pissed me off beyond belief).  Video

Third event, hammer hold.  Two 17lb sledges, longest time wins.

Finish- 9th out of 22 competitors, time- 1 minute 1 second


They only counted the hammer hold and farmers walk so I didn't make the top 4, finished 5 or 6 out of 22.  If they included the tire flip I would have easily made it but oh well.  The comp was very unorganized and I'm disappointed to say the least.  My workout partner Omar made it in the finals and I beat him in both the tire flip and farmers walk, so that shows how messed up the system was.  Anyway I hate making excuses but I'm pissed.  On the positive side, I learned a lot and had a great time.  Thanks to you guys for the support.

I'll post vids up soon

ha thanks, I know it seems like a 300lb farmers walk isn't that great but the sand added a whole other level of diffuculty.  It felt like I was trying to walk across a water bed, hence why I kept falling.

I was surprised they had you do that on sand, guess they didn't want those curl bars dropped on asphalt.  Real bummer on the tire flip being thrown out, they really shouldn't have done that or else changed how they selected the people who move on and added 1 or 2 and not penalized the guys that didn't do the tire flip. 

I wish my school would do something like this, bunch of pansies even on the football team, they had an armwrestling competition a while back but I didn't see the flier till after it was already over.

My friend just got back and told me the rest of the news.  Apparently the 2 guys that didn't do the tire flip both made the finals.  What a coincidence because I did my hammer hold about 5 minutes after I finished the tire flip, still pretty tired out.  Then some kids get to skip the event and make the finals because they have all their energy.  Life really isn't fair.

Pretty lame, whoever is running the thing needs some help cause they sound like they are full of fail.
