It comes down to this. . .

Another day gone and only one more night until I lift.  Training went well today.  Again, I was consistent and tight.  I kind of felt like I was showing off a little bit because there were a few people there who don't have my best interest in mind, and who I felt like were waiting for me to mess up and fail.  Ha. Jokes on them because when someone doesn't think I can do something- I'll do it.  The challenge is what I love.  Being able to look someone in the eye and be able to say to them, you don't think I can do it, huh? ... well, let me prove it to you.  I'd say more often than not I rise to the occasion and prove the nay-sayers wrong.  :) Tomorrow is going to be no different. :)

Some of you may be wonder what my 'pre-meet' routine is and what I'm doing to pass the time while I wait for tomorrow to come... I guess a play-by-play of today might be helpful.  

I got up around 745-8, weighed myself, gathered my lifting stuff for training today, and then went to the venue and watched Kat lift (she went 6/6!), once she was done I started my training session.  I finished right before Adam started warming up, watched him, got lunch, came back to the venue, watched Patty, the came back to my room, showered, straightened my hair, relaxed, stretched, hydrated, ate, blogged, tv watched etc.  

Now it's 845 and I'm trying to keep myself calm and collected for tomorrow.  I keep telling myself I don't have anything to lose. Just go out there and lift.  I've been in good hands and I've worked hard to get to where I am now and to hit the numbers Ellyn and I have on the plan.  Stick to the plan.  I can do this. Relax. Compete. Get better. and get out of your own way.  The numbers I have planned for tomorrow I have had over my head before.. so tomorrow will be the finishing touches.  

Don't forget to tune in tomorrow! http://weightlifting.teamusa.org/  I lift at 10am alabama time.. for my friends on the east coast that's 11 your time and for my friends back home that's 8 your time... :)
