World's Strongest Woman 2009!!

I've won Britain's Strongest Woman on two consecutive years and have only just received my first invite to World's Strongest Woman to be held in Dubai in March/April 2009. I am unsure as to whether I will be able to compete at this event yet as I commence my training to become a Police Officer at the Scottish Police College next month. The plan for the moment is to train events in addition to just doing lifts to get a qualifying total at the Scottish Powerlifting Championships in February as well as improving my fitness for my police training!!

World Powerlifting Champion 2008!!!

So the WDFPF World Championships were held in Evansville last month. It was a hectic week leading up to the comp. I sat my fitness test for the Police on the Thursay, the day before I left on an epic 16 hour journey Stateside. On the day of the comp I felt tired and the events of the week leading up to the competition had taken there toll. Fortunately, I reclaimed my world title but was disappointed with the lifts on the day as I was expecting great things. Training had gone well for this comp and I was looking for at least 540kg total. I was disappointed with the 500kg total I got but must admit there wasn't much left on the day. In retrospect, I think I peaked 2 weeks too soon for this competition as my big lifts had come in the gym 2 weeks before the competition s it's back to the drawing board. I've got to be happy getting my World Title back but it's back to the drawing board to hit the big numbers in competition that I know I am capable of doing!!
