Was really pleased to finish in 13th on my first competition, really enjoyed it and can't wait for my next one!

Turns out i broke my wrist and ruptured tendons in my wrist on the axle press and didn't realise due to ibuprofen/caffeine/adrenalin/wrist wraps so continued with the competition. I thought it was a minor strain, oops! I'm now in cast for 4 weeks, bugger.

Want to say thanks to Mike, Steve, Loz, Rob and all the other helpers for a great day, was well organised and great fun!

Where abouts are you based Dave? Are you doing the Londons in a fortnight?

Based in Brum, I would be looking at it yea, but I'm in this cast til 24th july, and then who knows what state I'll be in!

You gonna come down and watch. Simon and Ian are in it. They are now doing all comps on one day, now the Sunday. So should be a cracking day

Might do, be a good excuse for a night out in the big smoke too

Too bad about wrist - heal fast and come back stronger.

Try'en ditch the wrist wraps and build strength without support.

where you train dw2000? bad luck with the wrist, itll heal. come back stronger.

I train at a university gym. hopefully will get another comp in later this year!

well done on saturday too mate, great debut
