Saturday April 17th APA All Raw Northwest PL Championships
It's always good getting together with these guys, but this day was special for some reason. Today we were a Team and we were competing together, as a unit, helping each other, and supporting each other. That's what made it special. Eric and I weighed in Friday afternoon, each a half pound under the limit
while Alberto and Chris went and weighed in Saturday Morning. Jeff, Jhanna, Eric and I hit the venue about 9:45am. The meeting was at 10:00am and the lifting started at 11:00am. We were all in the second flight which commenced a bit after noon.

A big thank you to Jeff and Jhanna for documenting the whole thing. Jhanna got all the pics you see here, Jeff got video which he will work his magic on. Stay tuned for that. Until next time, back to the gym
