Next- Rhode Island HG

2 weeks till Rhode Island. My friends Sam Grammer and Kate Mason are putting this game on. They are throwers themselves so I know we will be taken care of. Looking forward to it! This will be Todd's first contested Lightweight game- Go Todd!! Training is going great, im figuring some things out with my technique. So as long as my elbow holds up I expect some good numbers with my weights.

Going to stay an extra day and take in the sights and sounds of Boston. I have never been so im looking forward to it!

On a different note; I am hosting the 2010 NC State Weightlifting Championships this weekend, Sunday the 30th. I have 4 lifters that I have been working with and im looking forward to them having a great meet. They have been working really hard and im excited for them!

Go Beth, Sharon, Michael, Mark and Alec....

Rocky Mount update

Rocky Mount was an interesting setting for a Highland games because it was at a Renaisaince faire. In case your not familiar, its around the King Henry era and everyone is dressed up for the event. There was a few Jesters running around, some faeiries, armour, jousting, fire spitters and wenches.... needless to say i think they were a bit off guard with big men throwing stuff in Kilts...
I threw professional with Eric Frasure and Mike Pokoski, the #2 and #4 ranked guys in USA. I had a descent day throwing, 2 prs in the hammers and one in WOB.
Been resting the last few days and ready to get at it tommorow and get ready for Rhode Island in June...

Live Strong,
