Jeff Peterson and I promoted a pro/am contest in Minnesota yesterday.
Matt Wanat won his heavyweight pro card and Jeff Peterson won the LW card.
LW:
1st- Jeff Peterson
2nd: Paul Bergmann
3rd: Jason Adamski
4th: Alex DeMarco
HW:
1st: Jason Bergmann
2nd: Dave Ostlund
3rd: Matt Wanat
4th: Ron Mazza
Here's how my day went:
I finished 2 pts behind Jason Bergmann overall.
Log Lift: Got my 305 opener and was pretty easy, but had no leg drive on 325. 4 guys tied at 345, so I was 5th in this.
Frame Carry: I made it the full 50' with 740 in 13 sec. Only 3 of the HW's finished with no drops on this event.
Medley (2 flips w/1020 tire, 1 flip of 550 fingal finger, drag 720 chain 50'): I finished in 54 sec out of the 90 sec time limit and was the only HW to do it. I felt like dying afterwards. Sam McMahon had to drop out after he crushed his finger between two chain links. Jared Spybrook tore his bicep on the tire in the LW's.
2" Axle deadlift: HW's used 575 lbs. I tied Ron Mazza for 2nd w/7 reps. Jason won with 8 reps.
Arm over Arm: Finished 2nd behind Dave Voth. Jason was 3rd.
Atlas Stones: HW series was 310, 330, 360, 390, 410 all to 54". I placed the first 4 in 17 sec. and had #5 lapped. I just had nothing left. This is the first time in 3 years I have missed an atlas stone and I'm really disgusted with myself. Jason, Ron, and Pete Konradt all got 4 but in slower times.
We were lucky enough to have the weather gods on our side since it started raining about 45 mins after we had finished. Had a crowd of a couple thousand all day and everyone had a great time. This show would not have happened without all the staff we had, they were awesome. If it were not for the staff, there would have been no way I could have competed and promoted.
