Well, the meet was last weekend (Feb.13th) and I'm only posting now because it took all of last week to recover from it and knock down the whole set up (the platform still has to come apart). I think we have finally caught up on some much-needed rest.
What a fantastic day! The lifting was great - we had everything from novice lifters (don't forget your DL socks next time!) right up to multiple-record holders like Claude Dallaire and Mat Court. The lifting was impressive all-around and the feedback has been great from everyone who attended. We had tons of spectators, good music, our spotters and loaders ran the platform like a nascar pit, Liquid Nutrition was on-hand mixing up smoothies....and my mom cooked enough food to feed all 12 of my volunteers plus our Referees and their families!
There hasn't been an IPF meet in Montreal in over 20 years and I think we succeeded in making this one fun, accessible and interesting for everyone who attended. Safe to say, I'll be doing another one, and we may even be hosting provincials in 2011! Stay tuned!

Also, our good friend and photographer, Manuel Aguilar, was at the meet taking photos of the day's events. You can find his photos here:
