Bench Press

What a crazy week end. 2013 Nova Scotia Provincials. I got into Halifax at 1800hrs ready to write my Provincial level officials exam. I passed with 87.5%. At 1930hrs it was time to set up for the competition. I finally got into my hotel room at 2300hrs and crashed hard. Up the next morning at 0530hrs to be in for weigh-ins. The practical portion of the officials exam I had to be judged being a judge which took from 0900hrs till 1500hrs. At this point I'm spent and I still have to get ready for the Bench only competition. I finally got shirted up at 1900hrs and started benching at 1930hrs. By the time I got home it was 2315hrs. Crazy long day.
Oh ya, I only managed to get my opener of 200kg. I missed 207.5kg twice.
