1st Attempt
97kg - Smoked it, I’d call it a powerclean, easy jerk.
2nd Attempt
102kg - light off the floor, crashed on me, no lift.
3rd Attempt
102kg - followed myself, caught better in bottom but my mind went. no lift.
Best - 97kg
Total - 175kg… 5kg Pr total in competition, so it was a good day overall, 3kg pr snatch and decent clean and jerks. I got video capture of the webcast video going up on youtube, no sound but its good.
Overall, very good day, very exciting place to lift, amazing atmosphere. Loved that there was a good 200+ people spectating my session and all the sessions. Saw PB Andy and someone from ironmass and Keith. It was good to see all you guys.
