Hey fellas, thought I'd chime in with my deadlift meet results from earlier today... I actually made the 242's, thankfully their scale was a little low. It really didn't matter though, since there wasn't anyone else in the Open 242's (unfortunately). And I held the state record for that class going into this meet. I figured I would be holding both the 242 & 275 state records after today. I'm sure I'll be bumped up into the 275's next year.
Anyway, I opened with 730 and smoked it, which won my weight class, broke the existing state record, and earned me best lifter of the meet. However, I didn't know what anyone else was going to be able to pull (because of the way the meet was run<--- this was only relevant for best lifter, not my weight class win), so I was forced to pull my second at 780 and got it easily. It turns out the next highest total was ~675, so the 780 definitely was enough to win everything with.
All-in-all, a decent meet in front of about 300 people which was cool. Again, I've got the footage of my 2 attempts on Hi8 analog, so if my brother-in-law ever picks up a Firewire card or if I find anyone who's got an appropriate interface, I can edit and post a couple clips.
I'm off for a little bedtime snack and some restful sleep. I'll chat with you guys later.
