...Did not go as well I had thought it would. 112/145 @81.?kg BW is very, very 'pish-poor'... Misses at 117kg and 151kg were also quite embarrassing. I felt stronger than ever on the day, and my last warm-up in the Snatch at 107kg was one of the strongest final warm-up lifts that I have ever done... Alas, on the competition platform I was unable to move the barbell, and my own body, into the positions that were needed in order to lift well. It was a strange sensation to feel so strong but at the same time so helpless... All of the videos from the BWLA Centenary Event can be viewed at the British Weightlifting Dartifish page here.
I have been pretty knackered this week, both from the competition last weekend as well as the few weeks of tough training that preceded it. I will compete again at the Leinster Open Championships on Saturday week where I hope to put the inadequacy that was York behind me and start building up some competition confidence in the run-up to the World Championships...
