Winters Wrath 2019

Lee competed at Winter's Wrath last weekend in Somersworth, New Hampshire.  It was his first competition in more than a year and he was beyond ready.  With a few exceptions, he had a really good training cycle and his teammates felt confident about how he would do at the meet.  But of course, life always throws a few curveballs.  I've had a hectic schedule at work, Emily got injured playing basketball (which was emotionally draining for everyone) and Elizabeth's academic, athletic, musical and social schedule has been jammed packed, so we had absolutely no breathing room leading up to the day of the meet.  I dropped him a the gym before 7am the morning of, his earliest start ever and he really pulled it all together.  He squatted 620 pounds, a new personal best; benched 380 pounds, his best bench in more than 5 years; and pulled 600 pounds, tying his previous personal best from last December.  His total of 1600 pounds was a new PR and earned him Best Lifter accolades.  We are so proud of his hard work and how he mentally and physically executed his team's plan to perfection.

So thankful for these guys.
