Daryn was that you on the R6? I was on the Africa Twin - glad you got back home OK mate!

Nice one dude, glad you had fun.

Welcome to the forum - fancy putting up a few words about yourself in the intro section?

Daryn, your deadlift was heroic! You're a strong man.

Just wanted to reiterate what people have been saying on here and thank Andy and Chet for a fantastic day. Thank you for making us Brighton lads feel so welcome and giving me the opportunity to throw heavy things around. Organisation was superb and I can't wait for the next one.

Cheers

Daryn

Here is the final results spreadsheet - simplified, formatted and checked

There are page breaks after each event so should print out OK too.

how close was that!
just shows that you should keep going in all events no matter what - you never know what might make a difference. If I had had 1 more press, 1 more second on the deadlift or 1 second faster in the truck pull it would have changed the result. Great event and well done to Tom (Thong), Thong (Tom) and Phil.

Just out of interest - I wasn't there - what weights did you use for the throw, deadlift, press etc...?

Couldn't have scripted how close it was!

Crazy when you think about it like you have mentioned above - but a great thought to take from it.
