Was watching the attempts on the instagerms, "Jesus, that's about ten attempts" then I realized it was on a loop. Derp. What comp is on next week? I thought everything was mothballed till October.

Saturday 22nd of August
Ended up deciding yesterday not to make weight after I saw the start list. Was only 7 girls competing so there was no point and REALLY wanted it to be a stress free competition.

Ended up going really well..felt ridiculously relaxed, coached myself and had plenty of time as I was the 2nd last lifter. Was helping a beginner to time her warmups too so that was a fantastic distraction.

Snatches
