Many happy returns for yesterday, Bar-Belle, and good luck for the weekend. I'm sure all the work that you and the others at Team CBC will pay off up on the platform :nod:
No need to wish you luck you've done the work there is no luck when you have skills like that. Smash it! :computer:

I've just got back home and read all the support and birthday wishes. WOW thanks guys/gurls smiley-hug008.gif

well done R. great day! 8)

Cheers Hades and J :grin:

News please!!! :protest:

Ok here is the news release :lol:

I have had the best few days ever...it started on Thursday my 42nd birthday and got really spoilt by my lovely family. Headed off to Tauranga with the Coach :grin: for some RnR before lifting.

Friday I was pretty nervous but with weigh in not till 2pm headed over to the mount...beaut day in the bay :nod:

2pm comes around pretty quickly and it was all on....I must say the WBOP team ran a very efficient table and the spotter/loaders and guys running the platform were awesome. We were put through really quickly. In my group we had 8 lifters and 10 in the second group. It was so quick that Steak didn't get to film or take any photos. Luckily my TP's hubbie managed to get a few. The group of female lifters was impressive...women from as far away as Otago and Northland. I got to chat to some really cool ladies. There were National records set, PB's and even Oceania records taken out. Some women were even competing with injuries that would have been really painful. That is really HARDCORE!!

weigh in : 55.2kg

Squat

102.5kg www

105 www

107.5 www

Bench

60kg www

65 www

67.5 www Comp PB

Deadlift

117.5kg www

120 www

127.5 Sumo Comp PB

I had an awesome comp with 9/9 whites and a couple of PB's thrown in for good measure. Although I came second in my weight/age class... we think that I may have taken out the national record for deadlift for age/weight class. So my total was 302.5 a 7.5kg gain on my last comp. My competition in age/weight class was from CD's (they got some really strong girls down there :nod: ) who got a 310 total and beat me on wilks by about 10 points. But I did beat her on the deadlift and I was lifting deads raw (just sayn :grin:).

My training partner also representing Auckland and CBC got PB's on all lifts and added 25kg to her total. And weighing 53kg she did really well, coming 3rd in her weight class.

The only down side to the whole comp was that there was no prizegiving due to some hiccup with medals etc not being ready. Was a bit disappointing as we didn't get to congratulate everyone on the sterling effort that was put into the lifting. So the official results are yet to be posted but we have worked out where things sit from the results directly post comp on the screens.

So after the lifting we headed out for a slap up Italian meal and yes TFB I did eat cheesecake =P~ after watching my weight for the last however many weeks I probably ate 2000 cals in 1 sitting :pfft:

And of course last but not least I must thank my awesome husband and coach Steak. Thanks for the ear rubbing/butt slapping and general pep talks I know over the last 8 weeks there have been some anxious moments. You've sacrificed your own training to get me to nationals and we had a blinder :)smiley-love006.gif You rock coach!!!

Couple of pics...have some vid of deads which I will try to get up.

Hey OB

It was great to have a catch up even though it was in between lifts :lol: .

I was stoked it all came together on the day...don't worry the coach will be rewarded :wink:

CD's did well...you have some very strong male and female lifters :nod:
