2007 American Masters
« on: Oct 21, 2007, 07:28 PM »
Any body here going to the American Master's meet in NYC's Lost Battalion Hall on November 10-11?  This will be my 1st time in a national level competition. :)woohoo I can't wait.

Let us know if you are going.  Should be a great event.

Any inside information on the venue?  (i.e. - parking, places to eat, quality of warm up area, locker rooms, showers, traffic hints, places to avoid, places to see, etc)

I'll be there but as a loader. I'm an LBH lifter who's only a couple years away from qualifying for the Masters.

I think the 6 warm up platforms are being expanded to 8 for this meet.

There's some street parking nearby on the weekends. There's chain store food around - Applebees, etc - but there's an excellent, huge skirt steak to be had nearby at Mi Tio's. http://www.yelp.com/biz/L7Np733B4NUlXHZUMbzoQQ That's my best tip for that area.

One thing I have noticed about big masters meets is that it requires the host to be an excellent planner. Don't these meets sometimes have up to several hundred competitors? I remember years back that the Collingwood, Ontario World Masters had 500-600 lifters

Good luck to the organizers, wishing everything runs smoothly

I got an email from the organizer Len Bacino.  He says that they have received 130+ applications for the meet.  There are 70 lifters scheduled to lift on Saturday and over 60 on Sunday.  Should be a huge event and by far the biggest event I have ever lifted in.

The start list is up for this event now.  Looks like there will be some particularly stiff competition for me, but I feel ready.  I also see a lot of regular forum members will be competing.  Should be fun :)thumbsup

To all of you going - Good luck and good lifting ):wlfter  I can't wait to meet some of you for the first time or to see some of you again!  I will be getting there on Sunday as I have to work all day on Saturday.  I will pray for safe travels and safe lifting.
