Earlier this week we discovered that the Olympic Weightlifting meet we had been preparing to compete in changed to a junior only meet without us knowing it.  Ruth and I had been training over the last few months and we were both anxious to know where we stood.  Since we couldn’t attend the meet in San Juan Capistrano we decided to bring the meet to us and do the first ever Intrepid Invitational.  A special thanks goes out to Nick, Dustin, Michael, and Stephanie for sticking around after a tough morning workout to judge and lend your support.

I weighed-in in the 94 kg weight class and topped out at 210 lbs in the snatch (a new PR!) and 265 lbs in the Clean and Jerk.  Here’s my first snatch of the day at 175 lbs.

Ruth was in the 69 kg weight class and threw up 113 lbs in her best snatch of the day and 163 lbs in the Clean and Jerk.  Below is Ruth’s best snatch of the day at 113 lbs.

Although we were no where near our peak yesterday due to soreness, Ruth came within 34 lbs of a total weight that would qualify her for Nationals! Videos of our Clean and Jerk will be added soon.
