Most Memorable moment in lifting: There are tons of them along the road. First Nationals meeting everyone you read about in the magazines. Having my son so overly excited the first time I squatted 450 in the gym, he went on for hours on how cool that was. First Worlds and feeling like a lost sole, but managing to stay in the game. Breaking 1100 the first time; first time opening over 400 on my squats; getting the gold medal in the deadlift at Worlds '02 and not knowing it until I was all done lifting; almost bombing on the deads at Nationals '03 (talk about nerve racking) and then coming out winning Best Lifter in the same meet, talk about a weird twist; medalling at Worlds '03. Best is all the travel and people I've met along the way.
