Well, I qualified for the womens nationals in Feb 2008. I unfortunately got the flu 4 days before the meet and had a bad respiratory infection. I started on ABT but couldn’t use any respiratory meds due to banned substances. My lifts were way down squat was 341; I also had depth problems. I quickly found out what passed in APF and USPF dosn’t in USAPL. You pretty much need to put your ass to your ankles in squat to get a good lift. ALL my squats will now be there no matter what!! Bench was 192, deadlift  was just plain sad, I felt so bad by then I cant believe I even pulled anything. Got 275 only. But hey with all my buts and excuses, I still qualified and that is all that matters! Set 2 state records also. All in all, I was impressed with the consistency of judging at this meet. Looking forward to doing the nationals in Feb.  Many thanks to my friend and coach, Gene Bell!

Well, tomorrow is the meet and I have been fighting allergies and upper respiratory congestion since Tuesday. I guess we will find out how tough I am tomorrow! Will post results.
