Finished 4th overall on the weekend off 88 competitors. Pretty pleased with how I felt. Take aways from the weekend:
1) I knew I needed to be top 5 since I was in the amateur division
2) still pretty stiff competition so I was happy with placing
3) the workouts set up pretty good for me so even more pressure to perform well
4) I was a little under the weather, coughing and sinus issues all weekend. Coughing on the first set of front squats isn't fun. I know I could have shave 30 sec there if I was 100% which would have put me on the podium. Other than that I'm not sure it effected me a ton but all the workouts really hurt bad so it may have.
5) confidence boost, now time to get ready for the open.
