Check In
Try to arrive at least 30 minutes before start time. If you are in the 220 and under class, then we will also take your weight, other classes will not be weighed. If you're concerned about making weight let me know in advance. During check in you will receive your event shirt. If you're wearing a costume for halloween don't feel like you have to wear the event shirt. After check in you can find a spot to put your things. Friends, family, and spectators are free to watch.

Athlete Meeting
At 11:45am we will gather athletes to explain the first event and take any questions you might have about the competition or particular events. Following the athlete meeting we will begin warming up for the max log press. Please ask questions, if you have a question that you don't want to ask in front of the group then ask me after the meeting.

Event 1 Warmup
After the rules meeting we will give everyone time to warm up. If you want some suggestions on warming up let me know and I will give you some ideas. If you need advice on how to pick your 3 attempts let me know as well. I am here to help and I will share whatever knowledge/experience I can.
