The Connecticut Open was an amazing event with some exceptional athletes. Although O-Lifting is not a big sport in the Northeast the quality of competition was fairly solid with competitors from the Dirty Jerz to Maine.
I went 5/6 (3/3 in the Snatch) and posted a PR of a 240kg total and had a great meet for me but mostly it was a great time just meeting people and being friendly with them. I spend most of my time training alone (with the exception of Tanner Cook who did very well at the meet) so it was nice to be in a room with a group of people all working towards the same thing; Different weights and at different times, but the same thing.
The meet was split into 3 sessions: women’s, men’s 85k and under and men’s 94k and up. With so few people this was the best option and definitely saved some time and at the same time allowed athletes to recover between the Snatch and Clean and Jerk.
I haven’t planned or even looked for a meet to do next. The fall Frisbee season is coming up which will be good for my conditioning which has certainly gone by the way-side recently.
I’m back from my honey moon on the Cape and back in the swing of things at work (Ugh, if anybody wants to offer me a job, I’m listening. Should I just start posting my resume around CT and see if I start getting calls?) and at the gym. I’ve been throwing in some metabolic conditioning since the meet to lose a couple of pounds that I’ve gained. The next 6 week cycle looks to be pretty fun. I’m looking forward to it, and Frisbee.
