Australia Strongest Middle Weight Finals 🎉
11th strongest under 73 kg
Event 3 Overhead Medley
60kg axle
65kg log
70kg axle
75kg log
I like an axle over head. Training for this went great and I was even able to hit 70 in training, unfortunately at comp standing in it's way was the 65 kg log.
My back and log are not friends.
In the final weeks before comp I was at peace with the not getting a rep in this but I always will give it a feel, so I did and gave it a good racking 🤣
Event 4 160kg Frame Carry
The idea of this event is to carry the frame as far as you can in a minute. If you drop it anywhere but outside the lines then you are done.
I'm not great at farmers, grip isn't my thing however in training I was able to get 45 m.
This was a hard pick but my hands held and I felt ok I wasn't slipping and the skin in my hand wasn't tearing.
On my 3rd lap I dropped the frame a few cm shy of where I needed to drop 🤦 the ref gave me the down and then quickly said no, I did ask to clarify if I was good or not as I got the down, he said no as the frame needed to cross the line not be on the line. It is what is 😭
Normally on events like this I make sure I go way past the line, but as my grip isn't that great I tried to not do more then what was nesasary.
I was disappointed, but reflecting on it it's still the furthest I've gotten without drops in a comp setting.
Event 5
Atlas Stones to 1.2m Platform
90kg, 100kg, 110kg, 120kg
In training I've had access to a 105kg stone, which I haven't been able to load. I've tried so many times. The hope was to get the 100 but it didn't happen, but like the log still gave it a feel.
I'm not disappointed because all I can do is try and every attempt I get that little bit closer so the day I do finally get the 100 is going to be glorious 😜
Massive thank you to all the other competitors, the volunteers, sponsors, the venue, all the things that make strongman, strongman 😂
And to all the family and friends that support me in this extreme hobby of mine.
