there will be vids of it james so we can break his knee cap mafia style and end his strongman career if he does not comply.  
Plus, it is most likely going to be televised!

I'll wear it when Im training for it and also to the venue, only thing is we will probably be given event shirts to wear as that is what usually happens at the finals.
True, at WSMSS they had the guys change shirts like 4 times.

I really messed up yesterday and am really disappointed in my performance. Even so, it was a privalige to compete at that level and also a massive accomplishment to be the youngest to ever compete in SSM.
Here my write up:
Log Press
Logs felt really good. First two reps were great, but then I couldn't catch my breath after the clean with the weight on the chest. Ended up with two reps, but if my fitness was better I reckon four was there for sure.
Truck Pull
Started off pretty good and I felt like I was getting some speed up. Lost all strength in my arms and could hardly even hold the rope, think that the rehband elbows maybe cut off the blood supply a bit. Slowed down as I hit the hump in the middle of the course and then I was just trying to use my BW to keep it moving. Ended up with around 13m.
Medley
Washing machine was easy, then the farmer was fine to duck walk in, but I messed around trying to load it eventually got it up but not as fast as I would have liked. Then I couldn't get a grip of the sandbag, but with 10s left I had the idea to sort of duck walk it in and got it a couple of feet before the time ran out.
Car Roll
Not happy at all with this because I was flipping it ok during training last Saturday. Yesterday I got it going then it came down on my ribs and couldn't breath. Tried another couple of times to get it going again, but couldn't. Last place in this.
Squat
Was pretty confident going into this as I felt I had a good chance of a good few reps. During the first rep [240k] My belt rode up by back and messed with my head. Managed to get the 240k and then the first barrel, 255k, but with the belt head was out of it and failed the 270k, second barrel.
Hercules Hold
Pretty happy with this and I got a pretty good time of 37.09s
Brick Deadlift
Going into this I was really nervous since I couldn't do 215k the week before. The 240k opener felt really good and so did the next lift at 260k. Got the 280k up around halfway and then couldn't finish it.
Stones
Usually this is my banker and felt good about doing all the stones. Tacky felt good before I went, but when I started it was like honey. The first stone of 110k was ok, then it took me around 30s to get the 120k up. Overall I got four stones, upto 140k, in 64s which really annoyed me since I did 5 stones at Fraserburgh last year in 44s and was taking my time.
This has given me so much motivation to improve. Going to work my ass off over summer to improve the fitness and lose some weight, then keep the fitness up after summer.
Strength has to improve and get more explosive. I know what I need to do to put in a good performance next year so its just about getting it done.
