    Re: Triskaidekaphobia - Joshua's Training

    Decided to peruse NASGA and get my old numbers so I know what to aim for. I've only thrown in 3 competitions, although I've been a judge for 3-4 of them.

    2006 Games Season
    Z-Hills (my first games)
    16lb Stone (Open): 30' 10.5"
    HWFD: 23' 1/2"
    LWFD: 50' 1.5"
    Heavy Hammer: 61' 9"
    Light Hammer: 77' 1.5"
    Caber 15*
    WFH: 11'

    Dunedin 2006
    17lb Stone (Open): 31' 11"
    HWFD: 26' 4"
    LWFD: 52' 10"
    Heavy Hammer: 59' 6" (I fouled on a 62' throw)
    Caber: 70* (100lbs)
    WFH: 11'

    Dunedin 2009
    22lb Stone (Open): 22' 9"
    HWFD: 22' 1"
    LWFD: 45' 4"
    Heavy Hammer: 62' 8"
    Caber: 70* (100lbs)
    Sheaf: 16'
    WFH: 11'



    Knowing this (and the fact that I was stone drunk during 2009's games throughout the whole thing), I know what I can aim for in 2013.

    2012/2013 Goals:

    Stone: 25' or better in the stone (20lb) or as much as 30' for a stone lighter than 18lbs.

    HWFD: This and the light distance are my events and I'm sure with some work I can hit 30'

    LWFD: 60' - no excuses

    Light Hammer: 80' plus (although seeing as I don't have the implements yet, I may not get a chance to train this one as often as I would like)

    Heavy Hammer: 75' or better

    Sheaf: Hit better than the first height (usually 16')

    WFH: I've hit 12.5' in training 3 times. I have to hit this on game day. This is my favorite event of all time, across every sport I've ever competed in, and yet I suck at it. I want 13', but I will take 12.5' to beat my friend Travis.
