Mathematically Challenged? Hell yes.

Well.  It appears that I shortchanged myself yesterday in my final testing for the transformation challenge.  We didn't have tons of time to go through everything, so time to find our max deadlift was limited.  I had a 55# bar already, so I added a set of 45's. I lifted my now 145# bar a few times.  Then I thought of adding sets of 10's until I reached my max, but didn't really have time to do that, so I said, screw it, and put on a set of 25's, thinking I had reached my goal of 185.  Hmmmm.....
55+90+50=195
Holy crap!  So I actually increased my max in 6 weeks by 30 pounds!  Hell yeah!
I don't know if my score can be changed for the contest or not.  I emailed this info to one of our coaches, so we'll see....either way, it is an even bigger victory for ME!
See, I'm one of those people who has to make score marks and write stuff down if the wod requires keeping up with lots of numbers.  I always have to record rounds.  I get so caught up in what I'm doing that it is soooooo easy for me to forget.  I have always been mathematically challenged anyway!
