Always hungry

Even when you hit a PR, especially if its not on a third attempt, you're always angry when missing a lift and always want more weight. At the National Championships in June I hit a PR total, 140, with a 62 snatch and 78 clean and jerk. These past few months I've been hitting some crazy PRs in the gym and was really hoping to showcase some of that at my meet this weekend. I ended up snatching 65 and clean and jerking 80, both huge PRs, yet I found myself disappointed at missing the 68 snatch and 83 CJ. I'm happy that I got that 145 total, but am itching to break that 150 barrier in December at the American Open. Enjoy some video from this weekend!

So Saturday is the big day, still have a few pounds to cut to get down to 58. By far the worst part about this sport is getting into that weight class thats just a few kilos away.... But don't worry Rett (not that you ever do), I'll make it! I miss you and hope you enjoy the video... sorry some of them are sideways, I couldn't figure out how to turn them. I may be an "engineer" but I am absolutely technically inept. And yes, I know the last jerk.... I was so tired that I was surprised I stood up with it. So if I can do it after already working out and being dog tired, I totally got this Saturday. Watch out Team Hawaii, Team Pink is ready to rock!
