[QUOTE="johnpol, post: 1589279, member: 387645"] Well Every body I did my competition on Saturday, it went reasonably well. The A1 was shut so what should have been a two hour drive to the venue turned into a three hour drive!! The stress of the weigh in and warm up had my BS's around 10mmol up to when I had to remove my pump prior to warming up, BS's raised up to 13mmol leading up to the actual comp. My lifts didn't go to plan I opened with 210kg which flew up so I upped my second lift to 230kg, again this went up relatively easily. So I decided to go for 240kg which I failed, I think that I should have done a 225kg second lift as I wouldn't have tired my back for my third lift. I am a bit disappointed with it to be honest, but as a Masters2 (45-49) class lifter it is looking rosy for the future!!!! it has lit the fire in me again, so more competition's for me now with one scheduled a Push/Pull event in December. Pump was put back on with my BS at 13.2mmol, it stabled out again within an hour with a bolus and came back down to 9.2mmol and then kept checking it every hour to make sure there was no adverse effects after, all was fine. All in all a very enjoyable day and definitely doing it again [/QUOTE]
