British Masters Weightlifting Champion 2011

Sometimes I ask myself why I do these strange things and what it is that continually drives me to train and improve. The Championships was a great event and with a 182kg total I also got my European qualifier so I can represent GB internationally in Masters Weightlifting.

At 77kg and age group M1 35 I am British Champion and must admit it might look good on the CV and when I start running weightlifting for sports workshops. The main thing is that I did better than last time and still have a long way to go. I love lifting, love competing and what makes it really special was that the event was the centenary event so 100 years ago it all kicked off.
