Thought I was feeling much better. Went to yoga..turns out I was uber tight compared to normal.

I can usually put my head to my legs but was getting nowhere near. Had to opt out of inversions and shoulder stands and they didnt feel good.

Saturday 17th of October- Cork Open

Was up at 6.15 this morning for the drive down. Felt great. Plan for today was to open heavier than before and didnt matter if I bombed

Snatches
46kg/48kgx/48kg

Made a silly mistake with the first 48kg, just came off the bar too soon. Next 48kg was piss. Deelighted with myself for being confident enough to open at 46kg

Clean and Jerks
Absolute and utter brain farts
61kg/64kgx/64kgx
Messed around with the bar on the platform for over 30sec on the first 64kg..just couldnt get the bar set up right it kept going lobsided. Shouldnt have kept on messing as I ended up clarking this attempt. Shoulda really got the second 64kg but Id already given up before the attempt..:o:o totes embarressing as 64kg should be a piece of piss for me!!

Happy I did what I'd set out to do..up my openers but disappointed with the cleans as they were just stupid.

I've a competition in Germany in 8 weeks...so just need to stop being crazy:pac::pac:
