Celtic Classic

This weekend is the Celtic Classic.  A huge game in Bethlehem, Pa.  It is the Open Pro National Championships.  They take the top 10 pros from our data base.  I was asked to commentate with the local TV station, kind of a Bob Costas gig.  I was honored and took the job.  It is a 2 day game and will televised locally in Pa.
Perhaps life after throwing in the HG?!  This is going to be really fun, looking forward to it.

Victory at New Hampshire HG

Thousands of people cheering you on, mountainesqe landscape, in the company of World class Athletes, friends and family watching, etc...  That was the setting for the New Hampshire HG this year.  This is my 4th year going to this games and every year is more magical than the last.
I had a great games with some big clutch throws.  I won Braemar stone, light weight for distance, both the competition Caber and Challenge Caber, weight over the bar, whilst 52 year young Mike Baab tried for a new 50+ World record, also won the Sheaf and had 3 nice tosses trying for a new World Record- to no avail...
I emerged the Champ at the end of a hard fought battle.  I leave nothing in the tank, its all on the field.  Otherwise why would anyone do a sport half speed?  
I would like to thank my sponsors Shiek belts, Standard Process for the herbs and macro/micro nutrients and Bio Rhythm for the performance enhancing pre and post workout, Protein and Creatine!! 
One more game this year, 4 weeks to Stone Mtn. HG

Virginia Scottich games

I did a great job recovering from the Montana games the week before Virginia.  Did a light recovery workout on Tuesday, ate good food and got lots of rest.  This was the rough and tough Pro crew for the games.  It was a hard fought battle all day.  I had an above average day and came out 2nd overall.  I won the Braemar stone, Caber and Sheaf.  Big Eric Frasure #4 rank Pro came out on top.  These guys are some of the best Athletes and even better people!!!  Fun with a mix of seriousness was had all day!!
I have 3 weeks to get ready for the Hew Hampshire Pro Masters game at Loon Mountain.  I hit the beach this morning for a nice walk, a few sprints up the dune and an ocean soak.  Light lift tomorrow then its full bore for the next 3 weeks.
