The day started off with my stomach doing triple back flips!! I really wonder if I was going to upchuck! I never did.

What a crowd too! More people than I thought would be there, that’s for sure. And Every person that I invited to be there for me showed save for a few…but even they called me, texted or emailed me or called….I love my people.

So, opening the show was me! I flipped a 600 pound tire for 66.5 feet in 60 seconds…my competitor made 60 feet.   I took first in that event.

It took about an hour or so for all the competitors to go through this event, so it was awesome that we had time to recoup from each event.  Thank god!

Second event was the Axel press. 121 pounds for my weight class. I only beat her by one on this event. 10 to 9. Again, I took first in this event.

Third event was the Farmers Walk for 200 feet. This one was a beast! 157 pounds in each hand. ****ing heavy. The whistle went off and she took off before me..but I put in gear and smoked past her ass in a quickie! I turned the corner and my right hand could NOT straighten out the weight and I ended up dropping the weight at maybe 140 feet or so. I picked it back up and took off again, the crowd screaming…I didn’t know where she was but knew I had to GO. About 30 feet maybe from the finish line something happened, I’m not sure what, but I feel. Some said my knees just went, I never felt it coming just down I went, HARD. I got right back up, grabbed those ****ing bars and went for home. I took it!  With one drop and a fall I took in 54 seconds!  First again!

**On this event, throughout all the competitors…I was the only person to make it all the way except for about 4 or 6 guys twards the end. 2 of those men were guys I train with. Please forgive me if I didn’t count you in…Its not intentional. I am so proud of them. Not to mention that Matt also had his first comp with me and he did really really well. He is going to dominate once he gets some training in! No doubt he will be Pro in a few years.**

And Last but not least was the Keg Load. 4 kegs staggered from lowest to highest weight.  150, 180, 200, 220 to a 50" platform.  Uuuuaaaaah  Uaaaaaahhh!!!  This one is a major bitch btw.   I did not have any competition in this event. It was just me and the clock. I got the 150 keg up no sweat, the 180…the 200 keg, I was going to get up on that damn platform. If I had competition against me I WOULD have done the 220. But I was tired and with no one to push me…I just didn’t.  I know!   But, I took first in this event as well.

I took first in Women’s Heavy Weight! I am Washington’s Strongest Woman!

And  Washington’s 2009 Strongest Apple!!
