COMPETE 2 WIN!!!!

This weekend I competed in my 2nd national show of the year!!! The NPC USA in Las Vegas!!!  Wow, what a learning experience this show was!!!!  There were 26 competitors in my class and I finished dead last!! Well, I wouldn’t say last…just 16th…They only judge the Top 15…after that everyone is scored 16th.  So, back to the drawing board.  I made several mistakes this prep…I won’t go into them..just know I recognize them and don’t plan to make the same mistakes next prep.  One thing that I will do is train the way I did for my 1st two figure competitions. 

What’s next?  I’m going to take the next 2 weeks off to give my body time to rest.  Then get back to training….plan to start dieting Aug. 9 which will be 15 weeks out from Nationals.

It was great to meet so many people in person that I chat with online.  Due to the show I really wasn’t able to do much socializing.  I stayed an extra 2 days but most of that time was spent in the room just resting….can you say exhausted?!!  Sunday evening and Monday I did venture to the strip.  I fell in love w/ the Venetian Hotel and plan to go back b/c I only did a quick walk through.  I’m already making plans to go back…it’ll be sometime in January.  I had a hard time dealing w/ that climate.  I’ll take a 100 degrees in North Carolina any day over 100 degrees in Vegas….talk about HELL!!!

I took several pics…check them out under USA (stage pics) and Las Vegas at www.myspace.com/essdiva   Just hit the pics link.
