HardlineFitness Throwdown Today

yeah this sums it up rather well I'd say.
Today at MY gym...yes mine, was a competition for all of us and whoever all else wanted to participate.

I have been working extra hard this month and getting in four workouts a week. I'm not the greatest athlete at my gym, but at 53 ys old, grandmother of 7 and Mother of 6 and having started this program in late fall, I'm not too shabby either !

I had to work and flew through my mail route...all the while thinking of the possibilities.
What is the WOD ??
Who is there?
Burpees??? for sure !!!
Max Clean?? most likely along with Max Deadlift !!!
OHHH How I was picturing this, and as each package and envelope was gone from my truck I was getting closer and closer to my turn.
or at the least help with judging.

Finally my route complete !!!
Every envelope, magazine,and catalogue tucked neatly and securely in its proper place.
Every package delivered !!!
Time to park the truck, return the gas card,keys and clock out!!!

Once in my lil car, I am on my way nervous a bit but anxious and full of anticipation !!!
On my way at 230pm , I should be there by 3 or so and hopefull have two hours with everyone !
Not much but I would be satisfied.

Wondering now how far away I will have to park, and should I have changed clothes at work?? Would there be a line for the bathroom??? No matter I'm almost there.Pulling up to 2 Harris Street, I notice something very strange and start getting a deep sinking feeling in my stomach.
There is plenty of parking..........I pull into a spot, and notice a few vehicles I recognize, but....no others.
darn.....maybe they had to move everyone for lack of space...I hope!!!
I walked to the front door, its locked. sinking lower here.........
I called Ryan. The owner/trainer and left v-mail. and lower still..............
Sent a txt to Brandon K seeing as his wheels were in the lot.
He said they were at Pyzz . "C'mon on in".
So I sucked it up and walked in.........yes it was over . It was all over and they had a wonderfull time.
So happy for Cathy and her new PR for Deadlift !!!
and for Aaron, Ryan, Brandon, AJ, and all the others....
I was encouraged to have supper with them...but just couldn't.
Noooo no desire for food at all.

Well there is another competition in May !!!
Gives me more time to be even stronger, faster, better !!!
