So I was originally planning on doing the Juggernaut Summer Showdown out in CA as my qualifying meet for USAPL Raw Nationals this October-- unfortunately life got in the way.

I couldn't justify the expenses to get out to CA for a qualifying meet when I knew I'd be spending a decent amount on other upcoming trips, and for traveling to Atlanta for Nationals. Therefore I'll be doing the Newport Open in RI (driving distance) instead!

This changed the timetable of peaking a bit, but my coach adjusted our strategy accordingly. This past year has required Powerlifting to take a bit of a back seat to finishing law school, and getting ready for the bar exam/ starting off my career as a legal advocate. I've still been training, but just haven't been able to compete.

I'm extremely excited to get back on the platform!
