USAWA

By Al Myers

The USAWA National Championships is right “around the corner”! It won’t be long and several of us will be lifting weights in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Entries have been coming in this past month.  I don’t expect a huge turnout but looks like it will be a good meet from the entries I have already recieved.

Todays story is a REMINDER that the National Entry Deadline is face approaching! The deadline is May 15th which I will adhere to HARD as I need to get the appropriate shirts and awards ordered on May 16th to get them in hand by the meet date.

The location of the meet will be at my co-promoter Cody Lokken’s house at this address:

Cody Lokken
85 June Drive
Cocoa Beach, Florida 32931

Cody has a big garage will high ceilings which should work out great for our Championships.  He lives right across the street from Lori Wilson Beach and Park.  There is plenty of free parking there, with a short walk to his house. Cody and I will supply drinks, snacks, and a noon lunch, which is part of the entry fee.

The award ceremony will occur right after the meet, as well as our USAWA Annual Meeting. Cody is in the process of finding a nice restaurant that we all can go to afterwards for a nice meal. It won’t be an official banquet type setting, but rather an informal social meal. Hopefully it will be on the beach!

I am not recommending any hotels or lodging, as we don’t have a “host” hotel for this Championships.  There plenty of hotels in the vicinity of Cocoa Beach to choose from. As for myself, I plan to stay a couple of days after the meet to enjoy the local sights around Cocoa Beach. There are many things to see and do!

I’m really looking forward to the FIRST EVER USAWA National Championships in Florida.  And remember – if you plan to compete get that entry in soon!!!
