Travis/Elaine Now that Tamara is not coming it seems we have failed for the womens supermatch. I cannot make the long trip with family in tow for just one match . I do commend and thank you Travis for trying so hard. I know you put alot of effort into getting us ladies equal time. Don't ever take any crap again from any of the ladies for not offering us anything. Elaine can you get your ticket refunded? Well look at the bright side, you saved yourself the $ 250 I was going to take from you. |

Hi Karen,
Tamara isn't coming?? When did you find this out? This is a real bummer because I was looking forward to the competition... I am VERY disappointed!
The ticket isn't a problem... I'll just use it another time.
There has GOT to be a way to come up with a ladies' supermatch to be more appealing to draw the gals out.
I still think the entry fee is a question, and believe that somehow if we're going to lay down the cash, that the worst we can do in the top 3 or 4 is get our entry fee back out. I know the guys are different and we cannot compare ourselves with them in their willingness to lay down a thousand bucks...plus expenses. Maybe they have sponsors or something, or just make more money than the girls. Anyway, we still need to pursue something like this. OR maybe there's a sponsor out there who BELIEVES in women in armwrestling and is willing to lay out some cash for added money to draw the girls out.
Well, Karen, It was debateable on who's pocket my $250 would end up in! ;D I'm looking forward to pulling you again. Let me know if there is a change in plans for the weekend... I'm not cancelling my ticket yet!
Take Care!
Elaine

Travis only found out today that Tamara wasn't coming.
I think he did a great job of trying for us. He made lots of calls to try and get more competition. It's us, the competitors that failed. Us girls are so used to the disappointments inolved in the lack of competition, weight classes etc... that alot of girls lose interest fast. Dont have the answer but I thank Travis for trying.
Elaine, the $ 250 was a joke but someday I'll take it so keep working hard

Hi Karen, About the $250?.. Anyone can be beat on any given day... I surely wouldn't have given up a match to you very easily... Why do you think I'm training harder now?  You scare me. I know Travis tried hard on this one. He started calling back in early July. I do appreciate that, not to mention that you were also the one who encouraged him to do it. Anyway, maybe next time...but I hate to see this opportunity pass without having the supermatch. Thanks for your efforts! |

:-/Sorry Ladies, I explained to Travis why I can't make it. Yes Travis did well on trying his best to get this going for the ladies. I emailed Elaine this morning explaining a little more on why I am not showing. It is very disappointing for you two and myself. I look forward to pulling both of you again in the future. Take care and we will talk soon, Tamara  |

;D
Tamara -- are you going to the Show of Strength???
It was so nice meeting you in Vegas -- if you are going to the SOS - I look forward to seeing you there..
Elaine -- Change your ticket to come to Florida in December -- there is some good competition there.... Or perhaps go to Ohio in February... just some ideas..
Karen -- Elaine is feeling STRONG -- her new workout routine is really paying off....................... big time!!!
I concur with Karen -- we have awsome ladies pulling now - but - they are pods all over the country and beyond. Renee Been is the closest to me and she is almost 4 hours away. I love meeting up with her as we challenge eachother and she is just AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! Elaine and I pull and is also an amazing puller...
Almost all of us are mothers and have full time jobs - so yes it is a wee bit difficult to penny up a large entry fee and also travel all over the place for only a "match or two".
Thanks Travis for trying -- we all need to put our heads together and come up with a plan.. any suggestions....
Nicole

You can bet that I'm changing my ticket...soon! I'm checking the calendar tonight for events to go to! Other than the ones already planned! ;D Don't kid yourself, Nicole, I'm not anywhere NEAR your power! Remember, you did hand my arm back to me in Augusta! Of course, as always with a hug and a smile! ;D Wouldn't have it any other way... See you soon, girlfriend!  |
