While it wasn’t my best competition by far, somehow how I came in second by making only two lifts. So I guess it does take two! What a great experience everyone is always so nice. See y’all at the next one in valley forge… thanks @metaphysicalfitnesspdx for all your help and thanks @teamctweightlifting for dealing with my shit over the years. @usamasterstrong I’ll be back with a vengeance in December, I have my own Howard Cohen records to beat! 😜😘 #olympicweightlifting #mastersweightlifting #girlswholift #isuckrightnow #savannahga

Came home from Las Vegas with 🥉 for total and 🥇 for lean and jerk at World Masters Weightlifting Championship in the M35 110kg class. I snatched 114 kg, jerked 160, and attempted a PR of 170. I also placed 4th for the super total with a PR deadlift of 250kg/551 lb.
I had a great time competing with my teammates @meira2mae @simsandfitness @dixon_elite_fitness

Today marks exactly 11 years to the date, for my training anniversary with my coach.

I’ve never wavered with my beliefs and or my trust in him. I’ve never doubted him. I’ve never questioned him, or his belief in me. I have always been loyal to him, and have let his expertise guide me since day 1.

He’s trained me through my worst moments in life. He has seen me at my best, and has been patient with me during my lulls.

We have collectively won a National Championship together, set National records, won a World Championship title; and in 5 weeks and 5 days I will be attempting a go for my second World Championship title. . . representing him, his team and his legacy.
I don’t do this without him or without Team CT Weightlifting.

When someone believes in you wholeheartedly, you know it. When you believe in that person equally, nothing can stop what you can accomplish.

I’m eternally grateful for his coaching, yes. But more than anything, I’m grateful for Coach welcoming me under his arm 11 years ago, for giving me a team to train with, for his non stop encouragement, his belief and his support, for never giving up on me, and for teaching me how to be a better coach, trainer and person.

A second World Championship title will be for Viv, for Coach and lastly for myself.

Remembering the journey…

Sappy Appreciation Post Incoming:

I really can’t thank the love of my life @johnmabucewicz enough for always going on these journeys with me and pushing me to get out of my comfort zone!

Thanks to my family and friends for always entertaining my crazy during times like these and supporting near and far. I felt so much love!

To the best coach around @teamctweightlifting this was an experience I will never forget with you being by my side. I am so honored to always have you in my corner, to be your athlete and part of the team!

Special shout out to my platform training partner in crime @missyjorczak who came in clutch in so many instances, ask me about it later lol! #stripbehindthecurtain #personalbarbellloader #caniwearmyleggingsnow

Back to training for whatever the next one is. Maybe Masters Worlds someday!

Just like that my FIRST National Meet in the books. Team Connecticut is the best lifting family out there with the best coach.

This was for you Viv!

Thanks to everyone for the support near and far!

Until the next one!
