I was just going to post the events. Couldnt remember if I had before. I put my thought about each event in bold

1. Yolk-Fridge Carry/ Farmers Walk: Yolk 80’ –Farmers 80’ back
Yolk-600# Farmers-260#This is going to blow, making it 80' with the yolk would be a win in my books.
2. Log Clean and Press: one clean press/reps.
265/240#Getting anything on this would be a win
3. Harness Pull 80’ w/ rope: truck on road (about 40,000 lbs.) (90 sec)I expect to do well here
4. Hummer Tire Deadlift: 560# Max RepsAnything here would be a win
5. Stones: 5 stones 200 to 330 (90 sec)I want to get 4 stones loaded

Honestly this contest sets up very poorly for me, which is the main reason I am doing it. I need to get better on the log, yolk, and 18" deadlift.

Ok a quick update:
I have been sick all damn week. I have skipped all workouts up to tonight. I will do the deload of my deadlift and press. I may throw in some light cardio as well. I still feel pretty crappy but i need to get some bloodflow going to hopefully kick whatever I got running through me out of the system.

So I didn't do so well today. I got zero on the log, only about 25 feet with the yoke. I did the harness pull in 39 seconds after almost faceplanting. I got 3 reps with the Hummer tire deadlift, but only loaded one stone. I will post vids and pics either tomorrow or Monday.

Looking forward to the pics and vids buddy. Don't beat yourself up about it.
