The intra club battle for The Belt was a good one. PRs were set, stickers were earned, and fun was had by all. Three spectators enjoyed the action. Thanks to Frank, Fred,and Amelia for watching.
The entire snatch session of lifts at 92% had only 1 miss! And, that one was overhead but Brian just could not lock it out and hold it. Megan had a dodgy back which would prove to be her undoing and she retired from the competition.
As usual, the CJ would determine the winner. If not, an entertaining tiebreaker would be used. The details.
Garrett went first in the CJ and he was only able to clean the weight. He made attempts to jerk the bar, pressing it above his head, but the feet were bolted to the floor. He managed to to get 51, a PR clean, to his shoulders, but that was it.
Brian working off an estimated PR from other events, started easily with 85. The weight piled on and he lifted the PR of 107 as his final attempt.
Ben lifted the absolute most as he hit his 90% of 114, but that was all his wrist could handle.
Ron, working on foot replacement issues decided to change his focus point and hit his opener @ 90% easily. 92% was a bit in front and he bounced back to hit the 95 and 97 markers. He gave 102 a ride to about waist high, but it was not to be...
From the dust, Keith and Luke were battling back and forth. Brian would have been in the mix except for that one snatch miss... Each nailed their lifts with Keith finishing with a PR 94 and Luke a PR 102. The winner of the club belt would have to be the one who could stand the longest on one foot blindfolded.
One and only one attempt in this test. (BTW, if you think it's easy. close your eyes tightly and stand on one leg. 20 seconds is pretty good.) Luke throws it down with a time of 48.62 seconds. Keith goes last and has to do it longer. He gets stopped at 50 seconds and is declared the winner.
Nice work by everyone! The question is "Who will the belt go to at the next contest?"
