Just wanted to let everyone know about the Gus Lohman Challenge I just competed in Saturday. If you ever have a chance to do this show, do it. It is one of the best shows in the country. The competitor bags alone are worth the entry fee. They were a new duffle bag with a meet t-shirt, titan support t-shirt, apt knee wraps, 4 detour bars and a skull cap. Afterwards, the promoter puts on a free BBQ for all the competitors and their families. It is just outside of St. Joseph, MO. All proceeds go to Camp Quality, a camp for kids with terminal cancer. He wqas able to raise over $1,000 to give to this charity.
I competed in two divisions (I had to do ten events) for the first time. The events were an overhead press medley, deadlift medley, farmers walk, keg load & stones. I won the Masters division(I won every event) and got 5th out of 6(just missed 4th by 2pts.) in the MW open division. It was more of a personal challenge than anything, just to see if I could finish all the events and stay competitive without getting injured. I managed all that. It was a great time but boy am I sore and stiff today.
Anyway, I just wanted to pass this along as I was pretty excited about the days happenings.
