Thanks!
I cannot tell you how good it felt maxing out in a real gym after training in a Recreation Center all year. Since I rather lift than officiate, it does not matter to me that there weren’t any other lifters (except Dan). Besides, Dan was cranking the music and lifting so forcefully that he filled the room with such intensity that I did not even miss anyone or thing around me. It was a great day. I wish I lived closer to KS so I could participate in more meets. It just makes me feel so good or did I already say that?
