* Notes:

- Horrible day on the competition platform.  Snatches went to complete hell -- I felt so slow, weak, and forward on my toes!  Initially, I had planned to open at 110kg, but during the warm up phase I decided to drop back to 105kg.  The opener at 105kg was successful, but very ugly.  The second attempt at 110kg was slow and drawn from the platform -- it felt absolutely gummy!  The third snatch attempt at 120kg went faster but was slightly forward and I lost it as well.  PISS!

- The clean and jerks went a lot better which is surprising because I typically have difficulty in the second half of competitions due to getting cold/tight.  Nevertheless, I faired better than the snatches, ending the day at 137kg.  The attempt at 145kg was a complete bomb -- I couldn't even clean it.  What a terrible day!  Regardless, I somehow ended with the best overall lifter in the Masters Division -- how did this happen?

137kg Clean and Jerk.
