Under the category of better late than ever, Saturday November 5 saw the last possible chance for Brigid to qualify for her second American Open and second Nationals. Practically one year of training came down to this last meet...no pressure though.
Warming up: no problem though a couple of warm up lifts were a bit loose.
Snatch opener: smoked.
Snatch second: smoked. Drawing gasps from the crowd at how smooth the lift was.
Snatch third: smoked.
She is halfway to the goal. Focussed and feeling confident, she begins CJ warm ups. Nice progression with no problems of any kind. Opening CJ; hits it solidly so, she has at least totalled with 2 attempts left to qualify.
Second CJ: she hits this, she is in. Clean is solid; the jerk even more solid. Fantastic lifting. She qualifies for the 2011 American Open with this total.
Third CJ: An attempt is made at a "should make" weight, but not as much fire in the belly as on the prior attempts and the weight is not racked.
One meet a month since September and this one sticks. Great job. See you in Mobile.
