Braemar felt great, though looking at video, I definately had more room to explode as well as could've stayed in contact with the stone longer.
Open felt good, still need to work on getting that power foot under me asap as well as staying low until its time to explode..
HWFD felt great but for some reason I lost my drive to the trig on that last throw.
LWFD was incredible. I was really looking for 70' here and just smashed it. I was really dismayed at my first throw and knew I didn't put the juice on like I needed to. No holds barred on the 2nd throw and it showed.. ended up taking extras but couldn't break 75'.. just a couple more in the low 70s and a 66' throw due to lost footing
HH is where my day went downhill.. warming up I tweaked my lower abs on full extension. I think I initiated this on monday but wasn't sure.. well this poised a problem as whenever I went for full extension, it hurt like hell to drop back down fast enough to pull.. Not happy with these throws, but all things considered 3rd place isn't too bad.
LH was a little better. I decided to stay upright for my first two winds then go for as much extension as I could before the release. The first two were a bit slower and when I figured out it was working well I gave it some juice on the last wind. It was indeed a games PR for me, but nowhere close to what I'm hitting in training since I couldn't get extension on my 2nd orbit, only my 3rd and I'm guessing it was only 70ish% extension before the pull.
Caber was blegh, I need to practice this. I can't wait to get my caber finished.. just need to plane it, glue it and fiberglass it.. hopefully will be done by next weekend so I can start working on it.
WOB felt good, though I could feel my lower abs yelling at me when I stood and threw. I decided to learn how to spin WOB since I need to learn it anyways. I'd like to stand as long as I can then go to the spin if I need to. I hit an easy 15' standing but since I knew I def wouldn't have 16' standing in me, I went to the spin. Hit the bar twice and then just under it. Just need to figure out the dip and drive upwards rather than forwards.. Will be practicing this as well..
Had a great time throwing with some very tough competition. Thanks to Jon, Isaac and West for helping me figure out the spin WOB. Thanks to everyone for pushing me to get the PRs. Looking forward to the Vegas games in april..
Barring injury, this will be a great event for me. Time to buckle back down into training and go for some more PRs!!
