Just got home from a great comp.

this is one of my best performances considering alot of the events are not my favourite.

it was a great comp with a good line up of athletes and some fantastic events.

1st event Medley (120kg farmers 25meters, 6flips of tyre)

1st Mark Westerby 41 secs
2nd Adam Townsend 43 secs
3rd Me 47secs ( i had 2 go 1st in this event so happy with 3rd)

2nd event Full stretch/Hercules hold 180kg per hand

1st Wayne Russell 47secs
2nd Me 45secs
3rd Jack Uno 35secs

3rd event 120kg log for reps. (each rep from floor)

1st Wayne Russell 11reps :respect
2nd Adam Townsend 10reps
3rd Lee Bowers 9reps
5th me 5reps PB

4the event

conans circle 350kg

1st Mark Westerby 55meters
2nd Wayne Russell 42.13 meters
3rd Adam Townsend 41.88meters
4th Me 41.56meters

5th event Stones

this sound complicated, but was ok. hard event tho. only 1person lifted all the stones.
you carry a 100kg flint stone 20meters then attemped the first stone then carry the flint stone back 20 meters etc till you do all the stones. the atlas stones were 120kg onto a very high platform (over 6foot), 140kg and 180kg. this made the first stone very hard for most of the athletes. only the last 5 athletes did the 1st atlas stone.


1st Mark Westerby all 6 stones
2nd Adam Townsend 5 stones
3rd Wayne Russell 5 stones
4th me 5 stones

the last event was a truck pull cant remember times but
1st was Lee Bowers
2nd Mark Westerby
3rd Wayne Russell
4th Adam Townsend
5th me

over all results

1st Mark Westerby 64points
2nd Wayne Russell 63points
3rd Adam Townsend 61points
4th Me Laurence Shahlaei 51points
5th Lee Bowers 44points
6th Jack Uno 39
7th Mark Buckley 35 (man of the day 14 and a half stone, amazing guts)
8thJames 28
8th ? 28
10th Christian Clay 25
11th Wayne Horton 19
