Sorry to hear the meet didn't go as well as you would have liked, but congrats on the Snatch meet PR. It sounds like you have a good plan and it's awesome you are able to alternate Oly and PL meets. I couldn't do, so I think that's pretty amazing!
Your post about the injury was great. Thanks for sharing that perspective and wisdom. I'm going to send it to my good friend who blew out his back in June and has been really passive in his rehab (and not so smart in his training leading up to it). He didn't really want to listen to other people, hacked his own way and ended up blowing out two disks pretty badly. Anyway, the way you turned to your network for help, coaching and support is something men don't like to do and is just plain stupid (ok, I'm generalizing here and making this a gender thing, but I think it has some validity), so I wanted to say I really am glad to have you as a reference point and to use as an example as a smart way to deal with a serious injury.
Don't let that go to your head too much. I'm still way more old and shit so show some respect. ;-)
Miss you...
