Got passenger princess treatment from @nealc_atx as he toted me around College Station this weekend just to support me at my meet.

Had the best time getting to lift in the same session as my friends. Maybe the most fun I’ve ever had at a meet.

Changed my snatch technique about two weeks ago and missed my first snatch attempt resulting in a full mental breakdown. 🙃 @stonehengeweightlifting had to tell me to get tough and get my shit together before my next attempt. Didn’t bomb out! Yet questioned if I should be really be weightlifting if I’m this terrible (a personal favorite mental spiral). Drank 100mg of caffeine and decided life was worth living and hit a meet PR clean and jerk on my first attempt, matched my current clean and jerk PR for my second attempt, and hit a lifetime PR on my clean on the last attempt, and ended with a PR meet total. (Sadly, I will learn nothing from this.)

The best part was cheering on my friends, being over caffeinated as a team, the endless inside jokes with @elaine.tsay, loading for Father @stonehengeweightlifting and all of us cheering for him as he smoked his comeback meet with a 6 for 6 while yelling “that’s our dad!!” half out of pride and half to embarrass him. hahaha
