1st Competition

On Sunday January 10th I competed in my first Kettlebell Competition at Ironworks Fe in Long Island NY. There was a good spread of people ranging from all ages and abilities. The event went well and was well organized. I completed 89 Reps in the LCCJ. It felt way too easy so therefore I have to move up to the 20's.

I found it a great way to get the feel of competing on a platform in front of people. I knew I was okay because I did not have to speak.

My pre comp routine was completely unorthodox:

Saturday's Dinner:

Pizza

Saturday's Activity:

Led Zeppelin Tribute concert which I would have gone to NYC for without a kettlebell comp.

At the end we did a Snatch Relay. Our team won with 241 reps. The goal was as many reps as your team can put out doing 3 minute relays for 3 rounds.
