Hammer throwing
Congratulations to Trude and Marte from my track & field team ( gfil ) with silver and bronze in todays national championship in women’s hammer throwing competition!
Ok: why this interest in hammer throwing? Some people might not know, but I have a history that might have eluded some: I’ve been throwing hammer since I was 15 years old, I have one gold medal in the Norwegian championship for boys 16yo and actually was on the under 23 national team on one competition!
This week was actually sort of a “comeback” when it comes to hammer throwing for me: I had a session on tuesday night then went to a competition in Hyen on wednesday afternoon! Of course: I threw 45.5 meters on tuesday and only just over 43 on wednesday, but I was so sore after the tuesday night session that I was not able to throw any further ( note to self: don’t do that again… ). If my hand behaves ( I’ve had RSI for a long time that have prevented me from throwing ) I will try to get to the national championship next year, shouldn’t be too hard.
This leads to another question: am I the only programmer that also enjoys a good hammer throwing competition? Let me know!
