Olympic Lifting in Ottawa
January 30, 2011
Yesterday (January 29, 2011) I participated in an Olympic Weightlifting meet hosted by Capital Weightlifting Club in Ottawa. This was a bit of a tune up meet for me, as I will be going to Toronto next week for Winterlift.
The meet was held at the Merivale YMCA in Ottawa. This was a last minute change as it was supposed to be at our club, but there was a plumbing incident the night before that complicated the situation!
I weighed in at 62.4kg, close to where I need to be next week to compete as a 62kg lifter. My lifts were as follows:
Snatch – 80, 83, 86
C&J – 100x, 100x, 100
Total: 186
Sinclair: 266.14
This was my best competition Sinclair score so far. The snatch tied my PR which was done at a heavier bodyweight. A bit disappointed with the C&J’s, as I’ve been doing more in training and making 100 consistently. Oh well, I should be able to do a lot more next weekend!
