Perfection

Well, it must be all downhill from here cuz I don't think I could ever expect better results from a competition. lol.

I made all three of my attempted lifts. I got all three white lights on all three lifts. (Red lights are bad, white lights are good). And, at the end of the competition, I was asked to a meeting with my National Head Coach as one of the 'probable' lifters for the World's Team next year. :) And my Aunt Gertie & Uncle Skip were with me. And I got to see my cousin Aaron & his family and his new house. And we didn't get lost. And my flights were wonderful. There's pictures on my facebook page that I'm tagged in, from the competition, if any of you are on facebook and haven't seen them yet. Thanks for all your prayers everyone.

This is 'take it easy' week...get some blood flow through the muscles but let my body recover from the whole adventure. I'm still thoroughly exhausted, but I feel great. Did some light Rows today, w/ 15 on each side of the bar, and then down to 10, then some single-arm Rows w/ 20 lb. Dumbbell. Other than that, we did some band stretching of my triceps, and then some band traction for my biceps. Then Brian stretched me out. He was also nice enough to stretch me last night after I got home. I really needed it. It doesn't feel real nice on the muscles to go 3 weeks of stretching and then cut it off cold-turkey for 5 days. But, he's already got me at least half way back to where I was. And, he wants me to come in tomorrow to stretch too.
