Belgian Masters championships and the Grand Prix Adry

by Alea Fairchild | Oct 7, 2012 | Lifting Events, Uncategorized

This competition is always fun, and well organised, and usually involves large beer as prizes, although not for the last two years 🙁  But I always find my way to the bar and a cold Pink Killer after lifting in Enghien! Anyway, this was my third competition in four...

League Championships – Flemish and Wallonian – 2012

by Alea Fairchild | Sep 29, 2012 | Lifting Events, Uncategorized

OK, the last couple of years we have done both league championships together, due to lack of resources and numbers. Today, we had roughly a total of 21 athletes, give or take, as I have not seen the final papers yet. One guest from Germany (hi, Susanne!) did very...

Second Belgium national interclub in Waregem

by Alea Fairchild | Apr 14, 2012 | Lifting Events

Round two of the three rounds of national interclub — my team is currently ranked third going in to this, but with illness all week for me (nasty sinus infection) and school holidays, as well as the European Senior championships in Turkey, only 19 athletes...

Start of the 2012 season – 1st Belgian national interclub

by Alea Fairchild | Mar 11, 2012 | Lifting Events

As my team only has four lifters this year, and one is in the hospital with a kidney infection, I had to make some decent Sinclair points for the team.   So I made sure I made weight (was 67 kg for the under 69kg category), and got all my lifts.  Plus 1/2….  ...

World Masters Championships 2014 – Copenhagen, Denmark

Sep 7, 2014

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

Jul 25, 2014

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,...

Belgian Masters and 5th International Masters and Ladies Open, Waregem – Belgium

Jun 29, 2014

When they announced at the end of last year that the Belgian Masters would be moved from Sept to this date in June, I was not happy for a few reasons.  The main reason was that this is my birthday, and to be quite specific, this was my 50th birthday.  For me, birthday...
