There is an open meet in Woonsocket, RI on the 19th, so I’m keeping my weight below 94Kg and trying to keep a good program between meets.

I made weight, I totaled, and I had fun. Also had a 1/2 kilo PR.

BW - 93.45Kg

Snatch 90 90 95

Clean and Jerk 113 120 120

Earning a 2nd place!

I clearly need to compete more frequently…

My friend Don Bajema did me the great favor of relentlessly encouraging me to go see Jim Schmitz at the Sports Palace and look into Olympic Weightlifting. I was dubious and had no interest in going to what I was sure was a mirrors and meat heads gym. My last association with organized athletics had been junior high and I really preferred to keep it that way. But I had some time between projects and thought, “Why not?” That was about five years ago and I am so glad I met Jim. I have been training two to three days a week and competing two or three times a year since.
