So…I got distinct pleasure of getting a little “sit down” with Sue Metcalf over the weekend to discuss, the sport of strongman, strongwomen and a little bit about her and her training.  I will say the first thing about her I found impressive…is yes…you know it….her hair…it’s good hair.  But if any of you know me…it was going to be either that or shoes.  The next immensely impressive characteristic I discovered, is her extreme passion and intensity for this sport we call “Strongman”.  She is overtly dedicated, determined and very driven…or other words, stubbornly persistant!! And won’t be pushed back! OK, so…lets see what we can get into…btw ..for those of you that don’t know, Australia is 14 hours ahead...
