Got a wildcard entry into a strongman contest on saturday - one of the competitors had to pull out due to a bad hamstring and a friend put my name forward as a replacement.I learnt a lot - 8 competitors including myself - all except me under 35 - and i placed third. When i consider i was not ready for this - it gives me hope for the autumn. The winner said to me that given my age i was awesome - that make me feel real good - as he is a professional and does this for a living. He was in the comp due to his sponsor being the sponsor of the event. For a last minute thing as standin i performed well - won the truck pull [ against a pro - haha] and placed no lower than 4 th in all the other events - way to go i think!
