Ok Everybody...Here it is......(drum roll).................
KARRIE TAKES FIRST PLACE IN HER FIRST POWERLIFTING MEET IN THE 123 lb Class!!!!!
BERNIE TAKES FIRST PLACE IN THE 132 lb Class, and Pulls 260 on her deadlift, for what looks like a new Ohio State Record! (She already holds the bench record in this class!)
The ladies kicked butt and took no prisoners!!!!
The support out there was awesome! Of course, Terry and I were there for Karrie and Bernie.
Karrie and Bernie both had co-workers come and cheer them on, and lots of family were at hand too!
AND.......a VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR OWN VINCE AND CARL FOR COMING OUT AND SUPPORTING THEM TOO!!!!
It was great to finally meet you guys, and your coming out and supporting our wives was just GREAT!
GerryT, ...it was great to finally talk to you on the phone, and thanks for all your support and well wishes. I hope your PC is up soon!
This meet was absolutley positiveley.................COOL!
Now, before you ask, YES we took pic's so they will be coming very soon. Keep watching and we will get them here as soon as possible!
Well, Karrie Girl....do we have you hooked, or what ? ;D
and......Bernie will now be going on to Bench Nationals in two weeks in Denver Colorado.
And last but not least...a VERY special THANK YOU to Greg, our trainer, and Stephanie, our training partner, for beng there, coaching, encouraging, and taking care of everything for us. Words alone cannot express how much we love you guys!!!
Thanks again to ALL OF YOU, for you well wishes and support! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!

THANKS SOOO MUCH EVERYONE!!! SPECIAL THANKS TO VINCE AND CARL FOR COMING OUT, THAT MEANT ALOT!!!!
HUGE THANKS TO MY HUBBY WHO WAS JUST AWESOME...CANNOT PUT INTO WORDS WHAT THE SUPPORT HAS MEANT! TO BERNIE AND FRANK WHO ARE JUST AMAZING PEOPLE! THE NICEST MOST GIVING AND SUPPORTIVE PEOPLE!!! TO STEPH MY POWERLIFTING HERO....AND THE TIDE TO GO..LOL!LASTLY TO GREG WHO JUST IS SO GIVING OF HIMSELF TO HELP ME AND BERNIE! BERNIE AND I COULD NOT HAVE DONE ANY OF THIS WITHOUT HIS EXPERTISE AND I MEAN HE KNOWS HIS STUFF!......NOW THAT THE OSCAR SPEECH IS OVER MY TAKE:
I am HOOKED 100% and cannot wait to start training for the meet in March. I missed my last squat, missed two benches, but made up for it in my dead lift. I was pretty sick Thursday night and that took alot out of me, fever of 101, slept most of the day, and it makes sense that my bench, which is typically weakest for the women, would not be where it should. I have bench 105 no problem but my first attempt the 95, when they lifted off to me it felt like it weighed 110, the strength just wasn't there. I was a little discouraged to miss attempt 2 and 3 on the bench but I was happy enough to get the first attempt and knew my deadlift would make for it, which it did!
At the end of the meet, Greg, just encouraged me 1) that I was sick 48 hrs prior 2)this was my first meet, the goal was to "get me through it" 3) I did great by just getting out there and doing it. What an AWESOME encourager he is!
So I get the next two weeks to do "whatever" I want training wise then back on track for March...which means cardio again!!!!! WHOO HOO!!! Hitting that treadmill hard tomorrow....had to take the entire month of Oct off of cardio....I missed it!
Thanks again for EVERYONE here, the support has been AMAZING!
