The comeback journey continues… This past weekend we went over to Fort Myers to compete in Thunder Performance’s Thunderstruck III Meet as one last tune-up leading up to States. After being away from competition for a couple years, I still had some nerves I wanted to shake off so we decided to add one last train-through meet to our comp schedule to try to shake those, and this was the perfect meet to do that at, alongside some of my long-time friends from that area and even greater of an experience was getting to share the day with Rebeca & to show her around the town a little bit, a town that means so much to me. 

On the platform:
🔥 4-for-6 day
🔥 Snatch: 46
🔥 Clean & Jerk: 60
🔥 Comeback Total: 106kg
🥇: 1st place in the women’s senior 55kg weight class.

This meet wasn’t about maximal effort; but about technique, moving well, feeling what it is to control the nerves & adrenaline, & feeling confident getting back on a platform again. We accomplished all of those goals & then some, and we felt calm and collected throughout the day.

A huge thank you to my Coach and Mentor, Coach Rebeca Stephenson for agreeing and allowing me to compete this past weekend with the reasons behind it & for helping me find my groove again on a platform, & for never doubting our ability to get back to this point.

We deviated from the plan a little bit & she pushed me to push myself a little more & it worked in our favor & truly gave me my comp groove back. It forced me to stay calm under a little added unexpected heavier loading & to trust my abilities to do so. It was fun just letting go of expectations, letting her call 100% of the shots & just (a little anxiously) sitting back & lifting the barbell when told to do so. We also made some platform decisions we’ve never made, so those were PR’s too, along with hitting 60kg on a platform for the first time-time post-injury. So that was a win too! Everything we went to do, we did. And that made it successful!
