Easy to get to and at a great indoor venue, Velocity Sports and Performance, the Carmel Indiana meet was a junior meet with Jake lifting by special dispensation.
Lifting on a rubberized basketball court, Jake was the last lifter and followed himself. Warmups started unspectacularly then right around 90%, the form started to dial in. One crazy snatch at 100 kg had two heads being scratched. Fortunately, that kink was left in the warm up area!
Opener 107 kg: easy. Looked light.
2nd 112 kg: easy.
3rd: 115 kg, not so easy. The lift was no good.
The CJ would be in about 1 hour as all the kids had to go in advance of Jake. Ugh was muttered by Mrs. Jake. Smooth warm ups followed by the final pull at 145. Things were looking good.
1st attempt: 142, no problems. Bang, bang, 3 whites.
2nd attempt: 148, big problems. Jake missed the clean. A very rare site.
3rd attempt: 148 clean no problem, jerk, in the right position, good drive, feet split as bar came off of shoulders. A struggle on the lockout and finally a drop. Missed lift.
3 for 6, 112/142/254. a handful of kilos away from 2010 national qualification. Next meet!
The return to Cincinnati was an adventure with the I465 east bound closed. Took the long way around Indy. When does a 20 minute drive seem like an hour?
