2013 Catalyst Athletics Ensign Gray Invitational
Two weeks after the Fall Classic and another work trip to Minneapolis, I competed in another weightlifting meet. I feel like I went from not doing these at all to participating all the time! This was the final meet the Catalyst team will participate in before Americans in December!
I was pretty much in the same position as I was for the Fall Classic. Earlier in the week, I traveled to Minneapolis for work and came back just in time for the meet. However, unlike the Fall Classic, I didn't go crazy on the last minute weight cutting for a local practice meet. I think because it was a home meet, I also felt very comfortable. We go for a heavy single snatch and clean and jerk every Saturday, so it truly felt like practice.

Team Catalyst on Fire!
It's so great to be on a passionate, caring, fun team with awesome coaches. I feel like for this particular meet, we did especially well. Just 6 weeks in our 12-week cycle for Americans and we're already seeing results! Heather, Audra, Chyna, Zack, and I all went 6 for 6!! More than half of us had snatch, clean & jerk, and/or total PRs! Zack qualified for Americans! So many things to be happy and grateful about!
Check out a few PR's below:
Me, PR Clean & Jerk, 66kg
Alyssa, PR clean & Jerk @ 89kg!
Chyna, PR Clean & Jerk @ 95kg!
Blake, snatch 107kg PR!
