Day: March 16, 2014
Commonwealth Games Trials
Rob 150 Snatch
The first session had Tia, and Jess competing
Jess who was coming back from knee injury pulled out a very solid 6/6 at her new body weight category of 53 and showed what a seasoned competitor she is.
Tia had to go for it to move ahead of Christine 162 and pulled out a 2Kg PB on the snatch and 9Kg PB on the Clean and Jerk to more ahead on bodyweight and then nearly jerked 101 to move up another spot - it was a very good effort !
The second session had Luke competing
Luke was unlucky on the last snatch and missed getting 125 through a small press out and the 167 just was not there on the day - Luke is such a hard worker in the gym and I hope it can come together for the club champs
The last session had Damo and Rob down to compete
Damo had been pulling out a few PB in training and we were expecting a good event however a full bout of gastro the day before the start of the comp that required a doctor's visit put pay to his challenge and he pulled out of the event
Rob who also had had a patchy buildup due to illness was an unknown quantity - due in part I think to the large and vocal crowd he smashed all 3 snatches to finish on 150 and the clean and Jerks he finished on 183 for a PB total of 333.
Thanks to all the people that helped out on the day - especially my wife Angela
On another more general note it was great to see all the new people that made the Team - Malek's performance was sensational !!
Tia 101 Clean
