mt-tom Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Last night it happened. After only my third week in the KTA program, I crushed the IM #3. I am so stoked! During my warmups I thought I felt the #3 touch so I decided to give it another go. I gave it a good squeeze and thought it touched but I didn't look at it. So, I went upstairs and asked my wife to watch as I squeezed it again. This time I absolutely felt the handles hit and my wife visually verified it! It can't believe it. It has been over three years since I got my #1 and finally I have met my goal. I intend to stay with the KTA program and would like to be certified when I can do the #3 for reps. I suppose getting witnessed in Montana is going to be a little difficult Sorry if I rambled on, I was just so excited and wanted to share my joy.
