I will be making some event changes for Australia Day ..the main reason behind the changes is due to time management as we now have 12 Athletes and I want to finish the event in 3 1/2 hours (to hold a crowd)

These events are easy to reset and the event should flow freely with approx 15 to 20 mins rest between events.
These are the following events -

Circus Dumbell 72kg - Clean and press each rep. Max reps each arm in 75 secs.

Wheel Barrow - 800kg @ 240 Handles 25 metres 75 sec time limit.

Deadlift reps 290kg (100 mm below the knees ) Suits / Straps /Knee wraps o.k.

Caber Toss 17 '6" @ 120 pound 3 attempts each.

Cannon barrel carry for max distance - I will check weight tommorow.

Stones 110 - 118 - 130 - 142 - 164 - to 1200mm


Athlete Start List.

1- Aaron Neighbour
2- Luke Reynolds
3- Scott Martin
4-Marc Wells
5- Ebin Le roux
6- Jeremy Hogg
7- Jono Macfarlane
8-Craig Read
9 - Arron Monks
10- George Maclaren
11- Lance Holland Keen
12- Matt Aichholzer

Should be fun. Only event Im not to sure about is the Cannon Barrel carry. My cardio isnt the best, I'd image it will be around the 140-150kg mark. That weight across your chest makes it very hard to breath.

sounds like a good event.

BEst of luck Theeos
