So, with encouragement from my coaches Ward and Kevin, I signed up for my first olympic weightlifting competition at the end of August. I kind of can’t believe it. I had to join the USA Weightlifting organization and I signed up for the meet. For the meet, I could fill in my coaches names and the gym I’m a member – I’m repping the Central Maryland Gold Weightlifting club. Grrrr, if I can do it, you can do it. My weightlifting age is 53 and I’ll be competing in the 64 kg weight class. HAhahaahaha. This is the most ridiculous thing that I’ve done in a while. You have to kind of guess how much you are going to lift and I put 0 kg. My only goal is to lift one lift cleanly with good form. We’ll see how it goes.

Wow!!! Cool.
