Training Week 6, Day 3

Max effort day.

Was feeling like absolute crap last night.  Baby E has a cold, is constipated, teething and pretty much downright miserable.  Unfortunately I caught her cold.  (Luckily I'm neither teething nor constipated.)  That said, my performance today was a lot better than it could have been.

Snatch - 40kg (PR!!!!!!!!!)
Clean + Jerk - 50kg (Awful).

Jerks felt soooo heavy today.  Not really sure what was up with that.

Knock on wood, it looks like I may be reaching my lower set of weight goals for this competition.  If you'll remember,  5 long weeks ago, my coach asked if I had specific goals for the competition.  At the time, my PRs were 29 snatch / 45 c+j.   I was completely new to the lifts, so I had no idea how far I could go in 2.5 months.  I said that lifting 40 snatch / 55 c+j on competition day would make me feel proud... and lifting 50 / 65 would make me feel like a badass.   So, looking at my progress, I think I have a decent chance of reaching my conservative goals on competition day.   Here's hoping...
