NEXT WEEKEND
Next weekend is a big weekend in amateur strongman contests around the country and it also marks my return to competition after a 6 month ice fishing and rugby sabbatical. If you're anywhere near Windsor, CO, stop by Pelican Fest and check it out. The events are going to be really cool, with a keg toss and barrel carry just like at last year's World's Strongest Man contest.
