Last night I looked through.....

Okay, here goes my quick historical review:

First game was Woodland 2010. Thus, looking at my 3rd game, Monterey in August 2010, after a few months of practice to get a realistic start point:

Braemar was 17-10, now I'm 20-21 range
Open Stone was 23-8, now 26+
Lwfd was 22-2, I went 37+ at Woodland this year
Hwfd was 11-4, 22+ at Woodland this year
LH was 51-7, now 65+
HH was 39-2, now 51+
WOB was 9, now I'm knocking the bar off at 12 and expect to get it soon
Sheaf I've tended to ignore in general
Caber at Monterey I couldn't pick, much less turn, now I can smoothly pick anything and turns are increasingly frequent.

Looking at the end of last season, Sept/Oct 2014, and the first couple of games this year, I've hit personal records in both weights, both hammers, wob, sheaf, and caber. I'm 61 now and not getting any younger or faster, but I have gotten stronger and my technique has improved. Persistence pays off apparently and I still believe that I have more personal records ahead of me.

Most important, I still love the whole process of training, competing, and trying to figure out a way to get better.
