December 18th, 2010 Results

Just got back from Montreal where I participated at the Qualification Québécoise.

Opened at 77kg in the Snatch: easy'ish then missed 80kg (hesitated) then on my third attempt got 80kg no problem, lots of room. Anni Moniqui got 81kg in the snatch...close competition ;)

In the clean and jerk I opened with 97kg, no problem. Then 101kg on my second attempt ...same as Anni. We both miss...I missed my clean (hesitated). Third attempt I clean 101 with tons of room. Then got super excited that I got up with it and forgot how to jerk up and not forward. And Anni got hers...so close.

In conclusion, happy with 80kg personal best at the snatch. Not happy because I wanted more! Gotta work on my confidence in the snatch... Super happy about my 101 clean but even more disappointed in me missing the jerk which I thought at this point was my strength :P Oh well next time, but at least I was in the game. It was fun being neck and neck with Anni. Oh and personal best total of 177kg. Grrrrr so made that I haven't gotten above 180kg yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next competition in Toronto, February 5th.
