Beach games update

Beach games were a huge success. We had 16 Athletes brave the extreme heat and throw their butt's off!!! Beau Faye retained his Championship 2 yrs in a row breaking a few field records. Mike Dickens was a close second and also broke a field record.
The real battle was in the lightweights with Thor Gylfason edging Todd Bryant out by 1 pt. Those 2 are one up after 2 comps.!
Frank Henry had a great day to win the Masters Division.
Thanks to Pro Eric Frasure for coming out and throwing demo with me...
Special Thanks to Sharon and the girls for helping out ALL day!!!
A little rest and then preparations start for the Masters Worlds in 3 wks...

Beach HG

Next weekend is the 1st Annual Beach Highland Games. My training partner Todd has a tough lightweight class with Thor looking to exact revenge for his defeat from Todd earlier in the year.
It will be in Currituck at 9am Sat. the 24th. Anyone needing directions please email me at eflynndc@juno.com
Eric Frasure the #2 ranked Pro in the USA will be there doing a demo and I will be throwing/training with him...
This is just another stepping stone to Worlds in Colorado and Belgium!

Hope you all can make it.

Update GMHG

This is by far one of my favorite games- Grandfather Mountain HG! Saturday was low 80s low humidity. I threw Professional Sat. and had a good day. I tied the current World champ for 1st in the Caber and placed second in the sheaf (20lb) hitting 31' and 3 good attempts at 33' for what would have been a new World record.
I finished 4th on the day out of 6.

I got talked into throwing Sunday too with the Masters. Another beautiful day and another good day for me. I won the Masters, nothing spectacular just consistant. Man I am still beat up!!!

After the game I took the girls to a waterfall and they had a blast jumping from the rocks, to me that was the highlight!!!

Well back to training tommorrow to get ready for the 1st annual Beach HG, July 24th in Currituck!!!
