1st Mark Westerby 55meters
2nd Wayne Russell 42.13 meters
3rd Adam Townsend 41.88meters
4th Me 41.56meters

5th event Stones

this sound complicated, but was ok. hard event tho. only 1person lifted all the stones.
you carry a 100kg flint stone 20meters then attemped the first stone then carry the flint stone back 20 meters etc till you do all the stones. the atlas stones were 120kg onto a very high platform (over 6foot), 140kg and 180kg. this made the first stone very hard for most of the athletes. only the last 5 athletes did the 1st atlas stone.


1st Mark Westerby all 6 stones
2nd Adam Townsend 5 stones
3rd Wayne Russell 5 stones
4th me 5 stones

the last event was a truck pull cant remember times but
1st was Lee Bowers

The boys done good.

Not only did TT do very well today (inc 2 second event places) but another of the lads that train at the whey consortium unit also did well today.

Winner of our first novice event and now a second place at the inaugural Essex Strongman Association competion was our very own Pete Reynolds.

Here's a pic from MT (pete on right):
