Weighed in at 108.6kg - about 239#. Got the weight back OK, probably a bit bloated.
Opened at 606 - took TOO long to touch - longer than normal, even for me. actually hovered a bit before touching. Probably pushed it straight up - but don't know. Probably wasn't driving with my legs, probably had poor setup. Went to 617 for the second. Came down a bit better, popped OK from the chest, probably the same "probable" mistakes as in my opener. Felt a cramp in my tri.
:-( .
Retried 617 with the obvious result: bomb.
Many lessons learned. One is that I just can't do the weight loss thing. I need to get to my weight and stay there. Whenever I try to loose weight, I loose too much strength.
I was 15 pounds lighter than when I hit the 601 this past spring.
Maybe I just had been hitting it too hard before the meet. I need to go back and look at my workouts and plan when I'm going to peak a bit better.
At least I didn't spend alot on airfare and hotels for this meet. <vbg>.
I'll take a week off, get pissed at myself, and come back with more intensity for next meet.
