Dino Challenge
By Al Myers
I always knew this would eventually happen – bad weather affecting my Dino Challenge! And this year it did just that, with a predicted bad ice storm blowing in on meet day. I had several lifters planning on attending but didn’t because they didn’t want to risk the travel. I sure don’t blame them. I’m actually surprised this hasn’t happened before in the over 10 year continuous run of the Dino Challenge in January. But the meet went on to keep the tradition alive. My dad had only a quarter mile drive to make it, and I was able to walk to the gym! So it was just the two of us.
