He he ! What a great moment this must have been.

But, er, how did you guys feel like the next morning ?

Ah... I heard about this! Glad to see actual photographic evidence of Panache in action!

Surprisingly good actually; Alan is right, it is fun.

I didn't feel as bad the day after as I did the last time!

We've been busy, sorry. I know I promised more photos the next day, but we've been crazy busy with the kids starting school, working in the back yard (putting in a new lawn-ask Jamie about that one!) and various other things.

My favorite event this time around was weight for distance. I never got the chance at hammer-was trecking to the bathroom with the kids at that point I think. Jamie actually did pretty well with weight over the bar, although in his case, once the bar was raised over 8 ft, it was weight under the bar.




Here are some weight for distance shots. I started with a 28 pound weight. That was too much to do comfortably-look at the expression on my face.








I was happier with the 14 pound weight, and played around with it for quite a while (thus the very sore shoulder yesterday and the day before)







Here's a real athlete.






My favorite pictures were from weight over the bar (I guess that's actually weight for height, but whatever). I took a lot of pictures. I don't do this one, because, no matter how much I reassure myself that that thing is not going to come down and wack me on the head, my body doesn't believe it and I always find myself scooting out of the way.

We had several folks with really good form.


Here, Jamie is just trying out the feel of it (he's not throwing a weight, just trying the form without one).




Here's a real throw, by a real pro, the Incredible Bethany:




Smayniac wasn't half bad either!



Here's Panache actually throwing (I think he made it over on this one too!)




Congratulations were in order after this.




Payback!



All that's left is caber, which may not be posted for a few more days, considering how wacko the schedule is in this household.

I also thought I had some amazing pics of Alan H doing weight over the bar, but I can't seem to find them.

Until later...

Be well,
