The World's results

Hi everyone,

Well today didn't go quite as planned, but I still did ok. I hate lifting early in the morning, it is way out of my routine. I didn't sleep well as I had a lot on my mind. So, here is how things went, warm ups were good and I was nervous. I usually don't get too nervous but this was the World's, so I was nervous. I opened at 407 lbs. which was real easy. I went 424 lbs. on my second attempt, that was easy as well. Up to this point every thing was going as planned, so I went to 454 lbs. which would have been a new Nevada State recond and would have put me when in 8 pounds of the winning bench by Doug Noebe. (462) I brought the bar down too low on my belly and I missed it at the top by 2 or 3 inches. I was not happy at all. I've never been this close to be world champion and I was upset. Oh well, 424 is a personnal best for me at this weight in a meet. This is only my second meet at 198 so I should be happy, but I know that I should of had the 454.

Thanks to all of you who prayed for me, it means a lot. Special Thanks to Dale (the old guy) for taking the day off work to help me. Thanks you to Barry, Chad, Adam and Peter for being there to support me. Peter took some awesome video that I am hoping to have up as soon as I can, so please stay tuned. I might be able to get it up by tonight.
