So this meet went a little better. At least it was warmer than the last meet. My toes were nice and toasty. Totalled 164kg which ties my best total, if I remember correctly. I snatched 72kg, 77kg and then missed 80kg. That was my first time ever attempting 80kg and it was pretty close. I was satisfied with that.
Then on to my clean and jerk. The warm up went very well, my jerk is finally shaping up. Opened with 87kg, then missed cleaning 92kg twice. I will be modifying my clean technic after discussing with coaches and friends. I think if I could have cleaned that weight I could have jerked it that day. I felt strong!
Oh well next time. These results qualified me for Provincials March 28th in Toronto, Variety Village and for Nationals in Kelowna, B.C., May 16-17th. So we'll see then what may come of this mental game that I 've been working on :)
