While there is always a sense of uncertainty and nerves heading into a meet, somehow this time feels different. This isn't the blog post for going into the nitty-gritty details of the past few months, but I will say that this prep has been really tough, perhaps the toughest meet prep I have ever experienced. There have been positives along the way but also some negatives and non-training challenges. Perhaps the biggest negative, at least from the perspective of being so close to competition, was failing my last heavy squat single earlier this week. Missing that squat does not make feel confident heading into competition. Failing a squat is not something that I do very often at all, like maybe 6 times over the course of ten years. Missing this week's squat probably wouldn't weigh so heavily on me if I hadn't missed two squats at Westerns a few months ago. My potential attempts for next week are identical to what my coach had planned for Westerns. As much as I know what I am capable of doing, I am doubting myself more than ever before. I am trying not to think about it too much. I would like the opportunity to get a couple more heavy singles in before the meet, but that cannot happen at this stage of the game and I need to trust the process. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
