Glory Days tri-tip cook off

Yesterday was the 3rd annual Glory Days tri-tip cook off. There was 12 different BBQ teams. I happened to be one of them. It is great to see everyone and the different types of BBQ's. I have an offset smoker, others came with propane, charcoal and a 20 gallon trash can. All cooked great and the turn out was huge. I placed 5th out of 12 so not to bad. Bill one of my neighbors won with his Bbqed tri-tip. I chose to smoke mine and it came out great with a great smoke ring and and wonderful smokey flavor. Everyone that tried mine said it was very good and that's what i like to hear. All in all it was a good day with friends spent on a patio with 11 others cooking away. I cant wait till the rib cook off. I have to get out and do some practice to perfect my ribs. Now it is back to my working out and getting in shape for 2012 hunting season. I want to lose 40 pounds and build up my endurance. I have been reading about Cameron Hanes and his "Beast mode" hunting. He is a pure athlete, after reading his blog he has motivated me to become the best bow hunter i can be.
