EAST VALLEY OPEN 5--2.8.14

Wow!  What an eventful week.  All the anticipation and hard work for the last 8 weeks and the meet came and went.  Here are my results.

SNATCH

Opening attempt at 70 kg (miss)

Second attempt at 72 kg (make)

Third attempt at 76 kg (make)



CLEAN AND JERK

Opening attempt at 85 kg (make--no video)

Opening attempt at 90 kg (make--no video)

Third attempt at 95 kg (MAKE!!!!! 5 kg PR)


And another angle, for good measure!!  So awesome!


I ended up winning my weight class (weighed in at 73.6 kg).  I also won best female lifter.  That was a surprise and an added bonus.  The biggest highlight was qualifying for Nationals!!!  Qualifying total was 161kg and I had a 171kg total.  Very exciting!!!

The Women of the East Valley Open 5--such an exciting meet!  I think every girl from our gym PR'd at this meet.  A testament to an amazing coach and a smart training plan!

I am actually standing here with two athletes from the 75+ category...but I did win my division.  I think they just made a mistake and put me in with this group on accident.  The gal in the red shirt next to me is Melanie.  I met her at our gym...turns out she is my 4th cousin.  An awesome gal, friend and training partner whom I love very much.  Expect big things from this gal.  She is fiercely strong!

Best overall lifter.  A huge surprise.  I am grateful for this opportunity.  What a gift!
