OK, I’ve never participated in the highland games at any level, but I have a strong desire to do so. Is there anyone in Chicago who does this, and do you practice with anything beforehand? I have no idea where to start or who to talk to but I would like to meet with someone and get practicing for the highland events in September.

Also for the peeps that are not in Chicago but have good advice on how to train and what to expect. I appreciate anyone’s insight regarding this. Advice is always welcome.
