National interclub series 2015, round one: Waregem. For me, start of lifting year 10.

by Alea Fairchild | Mar 8, 2015 | Lifting Events

First national interclub round (round one of three) for 2015 yesterday in Waregem, where they had new Eleiko bars and new big plastic training discs, so happy that the equipment was good for little old ladies like me. 😉 Got five for six, just a small mistake on my...

Belgian senior national championships, 13 Dec, Zaventem

by Alea Fairchild | Dec 14, 2014 | Lifting Events

At the sports hall of my club’s home city, we hosted the National seniors yesterday.  At the age of 50, I still qualify as a senior in Belgium as we (currently) have no minima for cadets and women for the national due to lack of numbers.   That may change as we...

Flemish and Wallonian regional champs, 17 Oct, La Louviere, Belgium

by Alea Fairchild | Oct 19, 2014 | Lifting Events

Pepto-Bismol had a phrase several years ago: The last mile is the longest.  Well, this week, and this day in particular, ran into overtime. Up now early Sunday morning due to an aching body and overactive sinuses. Been on anti-bacterials since Tuesday, not a good way...

World Masters Championships 2014 – Copenhagen, Denmark

by Alea Fairchild | Sep 7, 2014 | Lifting Events

It took me a while to post this, as coming back directly to a very full week at work. But the Danish Federation did a great job for us, and all we needed was there for use. I did well in Austria in July, and then I trained in August, but not as much as I could have...

Europa Cup – Stubenberg am See, Austria – 19 July 2014

by Alea Fairchild | Jul 25, 2014 | Lifting Events

This was a well-organised and enjoyable Saturday at a lake resort, with international Master lifters and a group of under 17 (U17) getting together for a friendly competition.  Many thanks to the organiser, Gerhard Peya, who puts on a good event with proper equipment,...

A little lie-down… 22 Nov – Bench press single

Dec 13, 2015

  Did one more bench press competition in November, got a little better at it.  Now on two months of what my coach kindly calls "active rest", looking forward to the new year. Happy Holidays!

One more, just to be sure… 😉 Belgian Senior Championships 2015, Seraing (Liege)

Oct 31, 2015

I made it back to fitness for the European Master Games, as I wanted.  But then, I said, what the heck, let's do the national seniors as I am already fit and can see all my national colleagues.  It was for fun, so why not?  So I lifted, got five for six [missed one...

After five months, a happy outcome – European Master Games 2015, Nice, France

Oct 5, 2015

On 23 April, I had major surgery with a total hysterectomy.  And on 3 October, after five months of rehab and recovery, I did what I love and lifted again in international competition.  Got all six lifts with all white lights, a silver medal, and achieved my world...
