So there's probably going to be more as photography trickles in from Valkyrie Photography and my fellow powerlifters. It was a success - 8/9 successful lifts and a total that's up 10 kg from my last meet. I knew I was going to be pretty conservative going in given the events leading up to it: the USA Archery Indoor Nationals, couple rounds of antibiotics, and probably enough stress to finish off an orcish warrior.
I totaled 292.5 kg and got three competition PR's: 95 kg squat (lifetime), 55 kg bench (competition), and 142.5 kg deadlift.
I have to give a huge shoutout to my coach R. Allen, who convinced me to try powerlifting and got me hooked, and my handler, E. Valentin, someone I probably would ask to be my coach if I didn't have a coach!
