At long last, myself and Sean managed to drag our asses to a competition. I didn't enjoy the nerves at the start. I was asking myself at the start, "what the hell am i doing here!!"
BW 88.4KG
Snatch 60, 65; 71xx all were power snatches for some reason?? The 71 felt so light that I pulled it out in front and too high.
c+j 95; 100 103xx . I think 100kg is a new ni masters record. 103, I couldn't quite lock out after a very nasty clean total 165.
The big positive was how we were treated by everyone. Alot of nice guys, no sign a big ego's, just a bunch of great and dedicated lifters. The facilities were amazing.
Cant wait to compete again. Definately in the irish masters and hopefully the connacht open.
Was very proud of brother Sean who really enjoyed the comp as well. he was unlucky not to get his 65 snatch which would have possibly equalled the masters snatch record for his age group.
haven't really lifted in 2 years. Hopefully, I have shaken off some injuries and can have another go at this sport. I want to compete again.
