Great job Ryan. I wish I had your strength to be able to do so well from the get go. I have to rely a lot more on momentum and torque than strength due to my size. I'm 200lbs but I'm still a pretty scrawny guy compared to most highland athletes. Most of my numbers are drastically lower than yours.
I will be competing in November in Tuscon, but I'm not going out there to necessarily win, I just want to have decent form, to be able to throw decent scores and end up in the middle of the pack somewhere. I just want to have a good time. You have the ability to actually compete and with enough practice, start winning some games.
Here are my average scores
LWD- 34ft
HWD- 21ft
Lgt Hmr-59 ft
Hvy Hmr- 36 ft
Put Stone- 28ft
Braemer- 21ft
Weight over Bar - I have no clue, but it's not very good
Caber- Never thrown
Sheaf- Never thrown
Some of those scores aren't my best, just my average, but I've been throwing for a few months now, and my numbers seem to be drastically slowing down. I haven't seen much improvement lately at all.
So anyways, back to the point, I think you're doing awesome for the C class for sure. Keep up the great work, and good luck at your next games.
