Squat Day Is All About the Anticipation

Tonight its quiet in my study at home. I am relaxing after another long day at work. Tomorrow is squat day and for the first time since Nationals I am enjoying squats. My weird adductor issues that appear to manifest at some point during a training cycle have disappeared and my form feels really good.

Right now I am reading the results page for the GPC 2014 WA state championships and I am feeling edgy. Work prevented me from being on the platform or even being available to help over the weekend. Thankfully there are always fantastic volunteers willing to help at GPC contests. The Rucci's put on a great show with numbers double 2013's turnout.

But I am edgy, I have that sickly sweet anxiousness in the pit of my stomach. A gnawing feeling of aggravation is working its way inside me. I have that need to feel on the edge, on the platform under a bar in front of peers putting yourself right up against your limits.

I have had an interrupted year of training through work and illness but frankly none of that matters in 3 months when I am on the platform at Nationals. I need to work harder than I ever have to push past my current total, to push it to respectability.

I am anxious, annoyed and edgy and the only cure is a PB total in June on the Gold Coast.

Stay Strong
