Well, my first KCBS competition is over, and I had a blast! We didn't get to walk THIS time, but nevertheless it was great, and I can't wait till the next one.
What a great group of people at these competitions. I've done local events, before and actually walked :), but the caliber of cooks and personalities at kcbs events is just plain awesome.
Here's a bunch of the pics from the event, I'll put up some better pics as soon as my teammates get their cameras plugged in:

Pork Turn In, 18th if I recall.. roughly right in the middle. It just didn't pull well. Was a very small shoulder, 5lbs, cooked to 200, then rested for an hour. Still was tough, and just wouldn't pull.

Brisket: Shot of us separating brisket. Came in 15th I believe, flat dried out a bit. Probably should not have used a Select Brisket for competition....

Ribs: 12th in ribs, they were cooked well, tasted awesome, just not quite good enough :)
