I
 missed Crossfit this morning to go to physio.
I knew they were 
doing 1 rep max dead lift.  So I brought my lifting shoes and belt and I
 bought some chalk and went to the Y with the goal of hitting a new PR 
in the dead lift.
Did 95#, 135#, 185# and 225# to warm up.
Then I put 
on my belt and got out the chalk and did 245# and 255#, I skipped my 
current PR (265#) and went for 275# (hummed and hawed over whether I 
should try 260# first, but figured go big or go home), 275# went up with
 out a problem.
285#? Might as well. Sure enough. Boom!  Tried 295# 
which would've been huge, but alas, it was too heavy.  I should've tried
 290#, but hey, 20# PR!  
Colour me happy!
