Dunedin 2013 Done.
This one-year log can now close (but I don't think it's gonna).
We threw Sheaf and WOB - I got 3rd place in WOB with an 11' throw, but I missed my first attempt at 10' because I misjudged by arc and hit the bottom of the bar. We won't talk about sheaf. :-)
Then took a 2 hour break for sheepdogs to take the field, then all the police/fire had their tug of wars, and lunch.
Then we threw caber after such a long break. As usual since I don't get to train caber, I fared poorly (but more on that later).
Then we got to throw HWFD which I sucked at (I think an 18' throw or therebouts)
LWFD which I took gold in with a 48-49' throw...
then we took another long break for the sheepdogs to make a second run.
Finally, we went on to Heavy Hammer, and after our first throws we were interrupted by the closing ceremonies for another hour.
I went on to get a season PR in heavy hammer (61' 7") for silver, even though I literally threw once, rested for an hour, and threw two more times.
Threw the stone last, got 24' and change on a 16lbs stone.
3rd place overall b's.
But my reward, someone broke a heavy caber, leaving a 10'-12' stick that is way too easy to turn, but it's nice and heavy which will give me good "pick and walk" practice. Bonus it fits in my truck bed with only about 2' sticking out.
By the way, summer is finally here in Florida. I'm really, really burned to a crisp and absolutely wiped out. We were at high-to-mid 80's all day today.
