I have to say, Nancy and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on this trip. We met many new people on this trip. It was great to get reaquainted with ones we already know. I wish I could have taken more pics than I did, but our camera was acting funky, so, there may be some that won't make it on the website. We had so many great conversations with as many great people. I cannot start naming names, because I am so tired I may forget some. You know who you are! I will start name dropping tomorrow. ;D Armwrestling cannot have a bigger fan than GARY ROBERTS. That guy should never be allowed to drink anything having to give energy; he already has enough of it on his own! Thanks for your "pumpedupness"!! BTW, keep pulling! It was an awesome tournament to witness and participate in. SO MANY UPSETS!! Only because the competition was so thick and everyone wanted the same thing!!!! My prefered and impressed match(es) has to be between: Brzenk - Hutchings These had everyone on their feet and screaming until hoarse. Bagent - Wofel (sp?) had to be the funniest because Travis' eyes were opened in their first match Travis took him seriously then. ( I hope that one makes the cut!!!!! ) I have more to say, but I am wayyy too tired. See you all tomorrow...today....

Damn Engin I would have figured you would have more endurance than that. I hope Cobra was not wore out after that match, because I believe his endurance is better also. But as you stated above none of us were up there pulling. I do however commend you on your win against Cobra, because I know you were really worried about that match. You handled yourself well. I wish I could have done the same.

No one who lost should hang his or her head. The Europeans said this was harder than WAF Worlds. ;D

Engin re-read my post. I am not arguing with you bro. I'm just stating that I thought you had more stamina than that, and congratulating you on your win over Cobra. I wish my performance would have been better. I will trade you my injury for yours if you would like to.

I think everyone should congratulate Ray Henrichs for a job well done. He should not feel the need to defend his performance as it evidently, from what I am hearing on the phone and seeing on here, speaks for itself. Cobra is a warrior and even the best warriors lose on occassion. There are always factors that go into a loss as there are elements that factor into victory. He will be back, of this fact I am certain.
In a weight class that big everyone feels fatigue and I know that a long match can burn your arm out a bit. I have felt that bite before as have many others on this board. But it is not fair to down play someone's win because of it. Ray fought hard and won.
As I said earlier, Cobra will be back. This is only one of the first stops on his comeback tour. I am sure it will be a motivating one.
