Contest Simplified

After the exceedingly complicated contest of last Saturday, much easier this Saturday. Lift more or do more or go faster.
4 events: Press from racks, Bar lowering, Pullups, Strongman medley.

Press from racks had Steve and Luke in 1 & 2 after a nice, if short, battle.
Lowering the bar (loaded bar from overhead is lowered until arms are roughly parallel with ground then held for a pause) had Garrett and Megan first to drop off. Steve hung around until the end again.

Pullups should equalize the field. Luke was done early and Ron hung around for a quick, winning 14. He appeared to have a few more in the tank.

After 3 events, the standings were: Steve (33), Ron (29), Garrett (23), Luke (22), and Megan (12).

The medley was brutal. Megan was on wobbly legs after squatting near her maximum for 3 sets. The medley consisted of jumps, ball toss, running, sled pushing/pulling. Luke was fastest, Ron was second, Steve averaged to 3rd, Garrett, Megan, Maggey, and Therese rounded out the rest.

Final standings were: Steve, Ron, Luke, Garrett, Megan.

Great work. No contest next Saturday as the meet will be the contest.
