just goes to show you: stop procrastinating because now it's too late - he'll never know i finally did it.
here's pics from some of the event - no pics for the atlas stones or the log press, as they were a total wash. the log press, i couldn't get the thing over my boobs (note to self: no underwire pushup bras next year!) and the atlas stones, the shelf was 5ft high, so basically at my head height (taller competitors, it was around upper chest) and i just couldn't figure out how to get a grip on the rocks. i mean, i got the first two up easy - the third was shaped like a swaddled baby and my hands kept slipping off it.
this is the van pull - utility van loaded with crap, weighs about 3000lbs:
farmer's walk - each weight is 90 (95?) lbs, had to walk 100ft (50 out, go around the cone, then back):
deadlift - 250lbs x 4 [note: i got the official results and it was 5 - i wasn't sure about the last because it slipped out of my hands at the top but the official said i was properly locked out already so it counted]:
tire flip - flip the tire, run around, flip it back (16 times - thought i was gonna flip my lungs inside-out!):
i'm not worried about taking third place. all other competitors were at *least* 20yrs younger than i. first place was melissa, a woman stationed at CFB petawawa with a serious powerlifter boyfriend (he's the one you see just over the tier - bald guy in shades - in the deadlift photo); second was jaclynn, who entered to support her boyfriend (like me, didn't train at all), and last was cora. it's just a starting point for me. next year, they better watch out!
yesterday, restarted my 10k walk (pushing the stroller - next time, leave the cat at home!).
today, getting back on track with the eating (first thing tonight, ALL the unopened packages of cookies, etc, get bagged to go to the food bank!) and i bought myself a decent pedometer.
FANTASTIC chick!!!!!
