Well, I've certainly had better days. I won't complain excessively, because it's just one day, and one contest. I've had bad training days, and come back to hit huge PRs days later. It happens.
Log: Got my first rep at 220 easily. Very close on a second and third attempt. Even with a rep, I was last place here. Other guys got 4-5 reps.
Conan's (550) : As soon as I picked it up, I felt terrible. Thought I was going to pass out, and felt like I couldn't breathe. I was just shy of two full times around, but some of the better guys had a little over 2 full laps. I was 4th here.
Car Deadlift: I should mention, I was the first LW for each event. Can't say it hurt me much, but it's an awesome feeling going out there and being first on the heavier weights. I scratched the car deadlift. I'm sure being a stronger puller would help, but being shorter would have probably helped also.
After 4 big pull attempts, my back was trashed. Its really never felt that way before. I had to lay down, roll out, had a hard time sitting up, stuff like that. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to finish.
Frame Carry(575): The frame was heavier than anything I'd touched before. The picks actually felt good, but my back was too shot to hold it for very long. I think I dropped it 3 times. I believe another 4th place finish.
Chain Drag/Tire(?/700): The chain drag felt easier than a lot of sled dragging I do in training, but the floor was really dusty. Slipped once on the dust, but got it moving again to finish it up. The tire didn't feel heavy, but after one flip, I just didn't' have the strength to flip it any more. I could get it off the floor several inches, but not enough to get it on my knee.
Stones: I tried to use my belt, because I felt like I couldn't bend down to tie my shoe. It ended up screwing with the stones pretty bad. First and second felt good enough, but I started seeing stars pulling the third, and had to take two shots at it. Took off the belt, and got the 4th on on the buzzer. Won't be using a belt on stones again. Got 2nd here I think.
So, that's it. Another contest in two weeks - time to rest up and hope that one goes better. Getting last place on three events, 4th place on two, and second on one is an awesome way to get last place.
