I’m currently in meet prep for the RPS Lexen Spring Fling in Columbus, Ohio on May 9th, 2015. I will be competing in my first multi-ply meet, going bench only at 148 pounds.

Tuesday was one of the harder training sessions that I've had to go through. Not physically, but mentally.

The training aspect was fine, but my family suffered a tragic loss to two of our pets. I found out in the middle of training, and just shut it down pretty much as soon as I found out. These two loving pets will always have a place in my heart, and my family is going to miss them dearly.

With all that said, I got my accessory work in on Wednesday and used that to let off some steam and kind of go into the void.

Training can't always be smooth, but the work got put in.
