OH Press

Ok, this is an embarrassing one. At the end of the five events, I was tied for first place, with another guy, and we had the exact same record through the events - 2 Firsts, 2 Seconds, and 1 Third. It was decided that a 225lbs overhead press event would be added, as a lift-off event, winner takes all. I was OK with this, as I like to log press. I had no idea how tired I was. The other competitor got seven reps and I thought I had it in the bag. I got six fairly easy reps, then failed one, and hit a questionable seventh rep (which would have tied us up and added another event, but they DQed that rep) and hit a wall. The video cuts out shortly before I pick up the log again, and just toss it down and sit down on the platform as I ran out of time, so exhausted I though I was going to throw up. So, I took second place.
