More Age Division Nationals photos. Not my best total, no PRs, but definitely my best meet to date.

This year has presented multiple challenges layered one on top of another, some planned, some unexpected. Went into this year’s Nationals with low expectations and mostly just grateful I could be there at all.

This competition gave me opportunities I’ve never experienced and it released an energy I’ve never felt. I felt so alive, feeling a competitive beast that was new and exciting and thrilling.

So often setbacks and challenging life events send our minds spinning and convince us the only outcomes are negative outcomes.

I am so glad I didn’t back out of this meet or come into it with a defeatist attitude. The outcome was anything but negative.

Thank you and my family for holding me up at my lowest, riding this crazy life train with me, and celebrating the many wins along the way.

Shout out to .media for the storytelling photos.

Age Division Nationals in Corpus Christi, TX. The most exhilarating meet to date.

I went in with low expectations and grateful I could compete at all. Missing around 8 weeks of lower body training after tearing my hamstring, didn’t leave a whole lot of time to train with normal meet prep intensity.

And while recovering from a serious injury, I was packing up 30 years of life in Portland to move to New York.

The Masters 2 63kg class was stacked with strong women this year. I was preparing to come in last but still wanted to do my best.

The meet started. Squats went really well and those who know me, know how big that was (squats and I agreed a long time ago to tolerate each other).

My teammates were crushing it and the energy was high. It motivated me to push hard, it was contagious. My love was handling me and there is no one I trust more to get me through a meet. was in my ear at the right times.

My bench is respectable which often gives me the edge I need. But this time, everyone had an impressive bench. I failed my 2nd attempt, not because of strength, but because I got complacent and lost focus. With a master pep talk from on staying focused and not letting ego make me lazy, I smashed my third attempt.

It was then that we realized a podium finish was a real possibility.

It came down to the last deadlift. Crazy math was being done behind the scenes to figure out what I needed to place 3rd. The attempt weight was changed three times.

And we did it!

Can’t wait for the official videos and photos for a full meet recap!

Shout out to title sponsor for showing up for the competitors in such a personal and meaningful way.

Lifting heavy complements every sport.

Builds overall strength. Builds muscle. Builds strong joints. Builds strong connective tissue. Builds mobility. Builds resiliency. Builds work capacity. Builds agency. Builds focus. Builds discipline. Builds self-efficacy.

Why would you not lift heavy?
