Wow, what to say. Awesome show and a great day! Took last place out of 6th. Made 3 mistakes I shouldn’t have that cost me 4th, but the distance between 4th and 3rd was steep. On the Medley I rushed my keg pick so I carried it too low, and I lost my balance right before the finish line. On deadlift I should have ground out an 8th rep on 455, I stopped with 5 seconds left. And before circus Db I sat with my dual-ply sleeve on for over 20 min like a dumb-dumb, so my forearm literally seized and spasmed whenever I cleaned the 2nd rep. I had the power for a triple I believe. Still, I’ve only ever done 135 for a double so I can’t complain. I did really kick ass on stones, tying for 2nd and using every last second of the minute - this was such a great way to finish, with a big PR.
It was very humid and I lost a ton of fluids, but it wasn’t too hot and the show had a great flow to it. Lots of fun people and I am so glad I jumped into this one. Also, NOTHING HURTS. Definitely feel way better than a powerlifting meet - ready to get right back into training. I will post some pics when I get the vids!
