Nationals
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. WOWZER.
I am very happy that I left for Boston when I did. It gave me a day to just chill and get the plane off me. If I could have made a day extra, that would have been even better. But that’s the breaks when you don’t have a lot of money! I met a lot of FANTASTIC people, connections, friends…and more over, I know what I have to do now to be #1.
I didn’t feel on top if my game the day of, that’s for sure. I don’t know what it was, but hey, **** happens.
First event was the Log Press @ 150 pounds. Getting it to my chest was nothing, getting the lock out was the problem. I just couldn’t get it.
Second event, 325 pound axel and tire deadlift. First time ever to hit this weight! I got three!
650 tire was third…this mother was a bitch and a half. It stood a few inches over my head, and laying flat came up to my knees almost. It was difficult to say the least just to get a grip on this baby. I made 35 or so feet, not my best.
380 pounds combined Farmers Walk. 100 feet with one turn and NO drops. I just focused on NOT DROPPING the damn thing. I finished in 35 seconds.
And last but not least was the 200 pound Atlas Stone. I had never done this one before. Interesting to say the least! Tacky btw, is some CRAZY ****!! We had to lift this baby over a 44 inch bar as many times as possible in 60 seconds. I made 4 was in the middle of my 5th when my time ran out.
There were things about this Nationals that was not run correctly. Not posting of our scores, no space for disputes..which was a huge mistake on their parts. At the end of the comp. they gave the middle weight 3rd place trophy to the wrong person and had to recall it. Talk about embarassing for them and the poor gal that thought she won. They also put my in 6th place, although I finished in 4th. We’ll see if they fix that.
other than that, I had a BALL. I can’t wait for the next comp.
A few really awesome things have happened because of this. I have a Pro photo shoot in Jan. my local paper is doing a feature on me and I made huge waves. They know I come to bring it.
Hopefully I’ll find a sponor(s) pretty soon. and maybe get back into some modeling? We’ll see.
