Two lifts attended the July Colorado Record Day and we had a great time lifting. Sanjiv came down from Denver and Crystal represented Colorado Springs. The lifts were performed at VASA Fitness which certainly made for some coordinating with the other patrons and some curious glances. Two sessions were held with an early morning session for Sanjiv and a later session for Crystal. RJ Jackson hosted and officiated the Record Day.
