the weighting is the hardest part (with apologies to elizabeth bear)

[digitaldiscipline]

trying to discern which is more stressful when it comes to making weight for a meet:

• being way heavy but super-hydrated the night before and literally pissing it all off in 12 hours
• being right at weight but fairly dehydrated the night before and entertaining fantasies about making long, sweet, passionate love to a fuckoff-huge glass of iced tea

(I have, barring some kind of metabolic miracle in the next sixteen hours that turns point 2 into point 1, above, given up any illusions of dropping to the next weight class down to set a national record in the deadlift this weekend, and will instead satisfy myself with incrementally raising my current state records and Wilks score in advance of a friend of mine eclipsing them when he turns 40 later this year and subsequently landing in my age bracket)

Hope all goes well for you!!

Jola & Carrie & I were talking in the car about wishing you could make it :)

Next year, maybe?

Reading this very late, but I hope you got your iced tea.
