					<description>hey i'm new to the whole comp. idea but I look at you and a thinking &amp;amp;#34;wow&amp;amp;#34;! i want to be that lean! Window closed? I don't think so!
 I'm 28 and you have me by a long shot! I'm sitting a 14.5 % and don't look any thing like you! I'm woking hard though! ;)</description>

					<description>Hey Kathy...I'll take the other approach. Sometimes a little time off from the rigorous competition schedule might be just what you need to regroup. It sounds like you have 2 great trainers and I've got to believe your &amp;amp;#34;window&amp;amp;#34; is a bit more than &amp;amp;#34;cracked open&amp;amp;#34;!! At 41, with a body 10-15 younger, I would think that the window is more like &amp;amp;#34;half open&amp;amp;#34;! The year off might be good for you to see just what you can do with your body. I always fine new challenges simulating both physically and mentally. In my case I be turning 51 next month so I'm not worried about competing but I do like the fact that I'm in better shape than my brother who's 15 years younger! 

I think you have plenty of time so don't be pressed into thinking short term!!!

Good luck with your decision.

					<description>Sounds to me like you want to compete.  Go for it and kick some ass!  That's my two cents. ;)</description>
