I agree with and second all of James’ comments above, and let me also extend my personal thanks to everyone — I had a great time, and really appreciate how welcome everyone made me feel for my first time at a USAWA event, even if I wasn’t actually lifting. I feel like I made many new friends, and can’t wait for an opportunity to see everyone again.
Also, thanks to Denny for letting me record the event, and to all the lifters who sat down with me for video interviews. I’m just starting the lengthy process of uploading, converting, cataloging, scripting, and finally editing all of the great footage I shot, but I look forward to sharing my work in the coming weeks.
Finally, while I haven’t had the opportunity to review all of the many hours of footage yet, I’m pretty sure I successfully recorded every lift by every lifter. I likely won’t be including every single lift in the overall event video I prepare, but if anyone wants a very basic video simply of all of their personal lifts, both successes and failures, or just of their highest successful attempt at each lift, send me an email (seth at aholeinthefloor.com) and I’ll put something together for you — it’s the least I can do after such a great weekend.
