There might be something to cold weather training, because fellow Minnesotan Dave Ostlund is in second place. Kevin Nee is in third, followed by Odd Haugen and then Sam McMahon.

The action continues at the FitExpo today and if you're an aspiring competitor or just want to learn more about strongman while enjoying a terrific contest, be sure to stop by - besides his entertainment value while behind a microphone, Jesse Marunde is providing the sort of expert color commentary that will be appreciated by competitors and fans alike.
