Well I'm just recovering after competing in this fun, but tiring competition, which took place in Bexhill On Sea in Sussex.
There were five events in the competition- my favourite event was the 190kg Yoke carry over a ten metre distance.
I placed at 5th place overall which I'm really happy with as it means I've moved up the ranks from last year's competition and also I've surpassed a competitor that I struggled against in 2006. The test of grip strength event- the Rolling Thunder lift, which I'm new to was interesting, I ranked 3rd in this event. The events were;
Log Press for maximum weight
One Hand Rolling Thunder Lift
190kg Yoke carry
Medley; 80kg Farmers each hand for ten metres, then a 65kg Duck Walk for 10 metres
Loading onto a platform; 2 x 50kg Sandbags, then 1 x 65kg Barrel and finally a 80kg Atlas Stone.
Bernie Mckinley, the Scottish Powerlifter won the title of Britians Strongest Woman 2007 and it was well deserved. Agata Wrobel, a former Olympic Weightlifter from Poland, ranked at second place.
