Hello Folks, So this weekend (specifically tomorrow Saturday August 16th) I will be stepping back into the world of Powerlifting after a 5 year break! I am going to be competing at the 12th Annual Niagara Open in the 66kg (145lbs) weight class. The event is going to take place roughly from 9am-3pm (weight ins at 7am *ugh*), but it will be located at the Holiday Inn Express in St. Catherines (327 Ontario Street, St. Catharines, Ontario), not at the Niagara Powerlifting Club as I had previously thought (they are just hosting from this location). If you are able to check it out that would be pretty cool as I am always up for extra support. In addition you can cheer on Krystal, as this will be her first powerlifting competition :). We have both been working pretty hard to reach some goals and are looking forward to a fun day. If all goes well I will be attempting to break all the provincial records within my weight class (squat, bench, deadlift, overall) while simultaneously achieving my qualifying totals for Provincials in November. I honestly had only intended on setting the records and bowing out, but It would appear that if I can keep making this weight class (meaning less Chucks Burger Bar), I may end up qualifying for Nationals next year and who knows where I could end up from there! If you cant make it out no worries, but if you are around Hamilton tomorrow evening I am going to be looking to eat lots of food and drink lots of beer, most likely at either Boston Pizza or One Duke and maybe head out to Gallaghers for some more beer and dancing afterwards. Have a Great weekend all!
