Brick City Open 3 2/n

 The photos from Isabelle Victoria Photography are finally here!

Squat Attempt 1: 87.5 kg

Squat attempt 2: 92.5 kg (my previous maximum squat)

Squat attempt #3: 95 kg (competition maximum and lifetime PR)... or as coach R. Allen and handler E. Valentin would say, easy, and I could've done more if I really wanted to, although they both understood and supported my decision to go conservatively! I also had quite a bit of cheering from the head Viking himself, T. Dreaver, as well as from friend and fellow archer, S. Fullwood!

Bench attempt #1: 50 kg

Bench attempt #2: 55 kg

Bench attempt #3: 57.5 kg (miss)

Deadlift attempt 1: 130 kg. For some reason, things are out of sequence.

Deadlift attempt 2: 137.5 kg (previous 1RM and competition best)

Deadlift final attempt: 142.5 kg (competition and lifetime personal best)

Celebrating with my handler and team-mate, E. Valentin, who has proven to be an amazing source of wisdom, insights, and unfiltered advice. He is honestly second to none for keeping me on track, taking care of me, and making sure I got to the platform on time! I've even had some amazing handlers, including the likes of my own coach, R. Allen, and my fellow mischief-maker T. Harris!

Finished in second in the open raw 76 kg women's division!
