Bellingham 2009
Another fine gathering at Hovander Park in Ferndale, WA. Great weather, great people and great games. I met some of the local Xmarkers, and like I said at the games, I am really bad with names. I will try and track them down so I can say hi again. I appologized to the guys in advance. The competition was amazing. I updated the Men's A and B scores on Nasga, unfortunately I did not have the Masters, Novice or Womens numbers. Of course after a day of competiontion I had to have a glass or 4 of the Boundry Bay Scotch Ale.
Physical Exertion+Heat+Empty Stomach+beer=really bad memory!
I did have a great games!
Open Stone 17# 36'1.5"
Light Hammer 88'2"
Light WFD 59'10.5"
Heavy WFD 30'6"
Sheaf 20# 20'
WOB 11'
Caber 17' 90# 1:15
This was the order of events for the day. During the Hammer My foot slipped on my pull and I tweaked my back. As you all know your back isn't used in any of these events!
But I could not back out, being the first game of the year for me. I fouled out on two of the LWFD throws and one of the HWFD. I ended the day with what I will call 4 PRs. The HWFD was my throw of the day! The other 3 were the Hammer, Sheaf and Caber. The Caber is tough to call a PR but It was the best turn since leaving the Novice/C class. I am going to post a video, hopefully tonight.
Throw far!
