Spent most of Saturday hanging out of a pullup bar that my dad put up in the house...(in an attempt to get me to visit more often
)
Did at least 20 singles throughout the day.
Sunday called for more messing...got a strange idea into my head that I wanted to find out how to do handstands against a wall.
One of the many, many efforts.

Saturday 26th of January-UL and Munster Open
By the time the comp rolled around on Saturday I was too exhausted from being nervous all week that I was actually grand.
Only two girls competing so we were put at the end of the first group...twas nice to have that extra time and not being first.
Snatches
33kg/ 35kg/ 37kg....AND I somehow managed to power them all...eeek
Clean and Jerk
43kg/ 46kg/ 50kg managed to power all of these again. When I'm nervous I just forget how to move:o
Was very happy that I didnt clark any of the attempts by not trying..which happens frequently in training
Twas a really great first competition. It was run really well..no hiccups.. and there was a really great atmosphere...and a LOT of alcohol consumption afterwards!! 0 -
