Stones, Sandbags, and a Blackout: Our Strongman Weekend

What an incredible day... Event... Crew... Result... And especially teammate!

Event 1: log 1 rep max clean and jerk.
Pretty jazzed on having one of the top scores across all weight classes.

Event 2: Sandbag toss. Adam went beast mode and forced me to try to keep up! We won that one by a landslide (both being over 6' helped there)

Event 3: the triple carry... Adam legitimately blacked out during the first carry. Rallied and followed up with a 500lb yoke carry (he still doesn't remember this). We came into this event in first and I assumed we'd lost it after that... Which Adam and I were both totally ok with because we were having fun... And because he lay on the ground borderline unconscious for about 45minutes after.

Event 4: the stones. After doing some math and realizing we were coming into the final in a 3 way tie for first I had to go to Adam (who was now sitting up... Barely) and the conversation went something like this "Adam, I've got bad news. We're not out of this. We're tied for first. So ima need you to get up and pickup some rocks with me and let's win this shit"
"...how long is the event?"
"2 minutes, want to practice some stones?"
"No... No energy for that (chugs an OJ and slowly stands up)... let's do this"

We went on to be the only team to finish all the stones. Securing us first place in the most competitive weight class!

Thank you to @crossfitsquamish & Jesse & the whole team for hands down my favorite competition every year. To the @raincityathls crew for coming out. @athlete_inside for always being everywhere. @ryu_apparel for the epic gear. @endurapparel for my favorite socks.

Final shoutout to the 2 MVPs of the event: my partner Adam for forcing me out of retirement to do this event with him, and @walesyyy for making my arms look incredible.
