2016 November - King Kong SF Bay Area, Part III - Hubgeezer

After the Contest.

I left the contest giving myself a "B Minus": B Plus for Crusher, B for Vertical Bar, C Plus for Euro, and C Minus for the Hub. I was grading myself on what I expected or hoped for, not in terms of an objective grade compared to outstanding gripsters. I had a good time, we worked well together, but it was nothing special.

The next morning, I started getting lots of texts from the guys, and within a few hours, Eric Roussin had miraculously posted ALL of the results every which-way you could imagine.

Reading the results, the number of entrants, the number of venues, the number of women, and the number of COUNTRIES, was practically awe-inspiring. I don't think I was ever so impressed by a "grip contest". Russia and the Ukraine in the same contest as the USA? That is for lack of a better term, very cool.

There are many people that deserve a shout-out, but Eric Roussin deserves a MASSIVE THANK YOU!

And, I hope to participate next year, and "we" may move the venue down to my neck of the woods. A bodybuilder/personal trainer has a small gym in the same industrial business park as my office. A female employee of mine pay participate, as well as a competitive young woman my son knows. And, it would be two hours closer for Ricardo.

Thanks Eric! Thanks to Evan and all the promoters. Things went smoothly. Good work!

Nice!  As you mentioned...we haven't gotten too many reports in as of yet.  I appreciate you taking the time to write this one up.

Hope to see yah at the next AOBS...hopefully congratulating a new Captain of Crush.
