Tatum McCann Instagram – Alright; time for the obligatory Nationals post.
There’s a mixed bag of emotions coming out of this comp.
First off, I’m proud. I’m proud of my attitude. I’m proud of my dedication through the weight cut and the last 7.7 pounds of water sauna’d and spit. I’m proud of my ability to adapt to what numbers-wise was one of the worst lifting days I’ve had in over a year. I’m proud of my ability to laugh at what is, I believe, the worst competition total I’ve put up since I was 17.
I’m also very disappointed. Disappointed in my numbers, disappointed in my total, disappointed that I didn’t even make attempts at what I had planned to open at, disappointed that the work and growth that I’ve had over the year was not reflected in my performance.
Lastly, I’m grateful. I’m grateful for all of the love I’ve received from friends, family, my team, my honorary children, and all y’all. I’m grateful to my amazing coach @jessetorrero_ @primalintl and my stand in coach and road-trip buddy @danielle_gal. Without the two of them, with unending patience and understanding, I would not have been able to do this. I’m grateful to my incredible nutrition coach @n_sahlin and @workingagainstgravity for helping me to stay healthy and relatively sane throughout this cut. I’m grateful that I’m healthy and well and live to lift another day. Onward and upward (literally, we’re moving to 49s 😛)
