T competes in Scottish Heavy Athletics/Highland Games. It's way too drawn out an explanation, so google it if you have questions. All you need to know is that he throws very heavy things very far/high.
He also dances.
I kid, I kid. But it sure looks that way here. And yes, he wears a kilt. I know, giggle all you want, but I just enjoy looking at his legs :)
Whoa. That's pretty high there, T. I think you cleared it.
Here he is with one of his childhood idols, Brian Oldfield. Many of you may remember him as one of the first track & field athletes to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated. Or you may recognize him from all the tv shows he competed on in the '80's. Or, you may know him from the Olympic team back in the Bruce Jenner era. Or you may recognize him as a current world-record holder in the shotput. Or as the first man to throw over 70 ft. in the shotput. There's a lot more accomplishments he has achieved, most of which are pretty track-centric. The bottom-line is that this guy has done amazing things for throwers, and T loves that he gets to see him and get free advice and coaching at these meets. It's pretty amazing if you think about it...
And this is the t-shirt quilt I made for his birthday last year. It's a combination of both mine and his t-shirts, but gives you a little peek at all that he's participated in...
Fun, huh?
