I only was able to hit my opener this past weekend, and I missed my 2nd & 3rd attempts. So I didn’t break any PR’s that I had wanted to. After bench was done I left the meet because I was having some bad nerve pain setting in. All in all I had fun, it was my first World meet and having fun is what matters. Thank you God for allowing me to still be able to do what I love
