Ottawa Open Re-cap

I always enjoy the Ottawa Open because we have a strong Ultimate Fitness presence with both lifters and fans, and the atmosphere is always welcoming.

Weighed in at 71.1 kg which is a little fatter than I have been in previous meets.  No weight, salt, or water cutting which made it very stress-free.

I wasn't completely confident going into this meet, as I hadn't spent much time in my squat suit and wraps since March, and my dead lift seemed to be going backwards....

Despite the lack of confidence, I ended up with PR's in all three lifts, with my biggest total and wilks to boot.  Highlights being that I got 3 white lights on my bench opener for the first time since I lifted raw, and I FINALLY pulled my 400lb dead lift which was a huge monkey off my back.
I just missed the overall Best lifter Award by 6 wilks points, which turned out to be a really cool Samurai sword!  So, instead I settled for the Best Female Lifter plaque.
Huge thanks to Dane, Shane, David, Taylor (emergency cookie go-to guy), and obviously the best handler ever, Paul for making sure everything went smoothly. 
Also, congrats to other UF lifters Jayne, Tracey, Rebecca, Ellynne for great showings.  Shelly will get it next time.

Anyways, here is the vid you can check it out yourself!

The Nordik was a saviour after a battle with a 200kg squat that's for sure!  That squat felt a lot longer and excruciating in real time...

....

And other exciting news for today includes getting out of contest drug tested this morning which was really cool!  I feel super important.... This is definitely the big time boys!
