Signing off for a bit

I am taking the rest of the week more or less off. I will be doing a bit of bending and calisthenics as well as competing in a watered down Highland Games over the weekend. ROP resumes with a heavy day on Wednesday, though I may take a variety day on Monday to ease myself back in.

Good luck in the Highland Games. Do the Schaps have a tartan for their kilts?

As far as I know the Germans never got in on the whole kilt thing. If I had a kilt I guess it would be blue and white lozengy pattern. The games are pretty easy compared to the real thing. Toss a rock, toss a 35lbs ring weight and flip a caber and your done. No weight for height, no pitchfork and bag of straw. I am hoping for maybe a top 5 placing based on my performance last year.

I meant "you're" of course.

Should have no problems with the 35lbs ring weight with all those 32kgs swings you've been doing lately.

Good luck anyway!!
