Flew out of town to do show, bags were lost!

[norm1220]

I carefully prepared all my food for my carb load, packed my color (protan quick bronze hot),packed my posing trunks and music into a small gym bag and put the gym bag in my luggage. Also in the luggage was my medicine bag with AMP and viagra for vasodiolation on stage. And of course my clothes for the big after party and the rest of my 5 day trip.

I flew from Juneau to Anchorage and when I arrived I found that my luggage was mis-tagged and sent to Montana. I was floored.....How the hell do I get onstage and win my class now? F*ck!

Luckily there is a Max Muscle in town and they had one pair of posing trunks left, men's small (27"-29"). LOL...well I found out that I can squeeze 208lbs of ass into a men's small. And I managed to pick up some Dream Tan #2 also, so all I have to do now is burn another copy of my music with my laptop and I can actually make it to the stage.

Not the best possible start for this year's competitive season.

it always seems to happen when you dont need it to huh...

when flying to a show i always pack my trunks and music with me in the carry on I also carried my protan, but now i bet they wont let you carry this on....

trunks, protan, music.... everything else can be purchased if lost....

good luck to ya!

Oh man talk about a nightmare come true bro, good luck and I hope you get your bags back.

I also carried my protan, but now i bet they wont let you carry this on....

True, no liquids or gels over 3oz. If they are under 3oz, bring a zip lock because they have to be put in a zip lock and carried outside of your carry on bag. My wife had to leave about $120 worth of facial creams, etc at the airport because they wouldn't allow them on without a zip lock. What a useless move.

Sh*t, I wish I would have know that under 3 oz could be carried on. I thought it was no liquids at all, which is why I packed my 20ml of AMP-5 in the luggage.

Oh well, I'll just use the old shot of vodka for a vasodilator.....

Shit buddy. Sorry yo here about this shit, such timing. Its happened now so there is nothing you or I can do about it. So try to stay postive and win that Masters title. Best of luck.

Be sure to let us know the results.

Just got back from prejudging. No doubt about it..... the Masters title is mine.

I talked to the chair of our state's judging board (he is a former Masters National Lightweight champ and a runner up a time or two in the open Nationals) and he said he thinks I wil be very competitve and will represent our state well at Master's Nationals this July. Everyone was complimenting my size and conditioning, so I feel good about this show in spite of the foul up with my luggage.

This has to be a Bb'ers worst nightmare.

Update:

Not only did I win first in Master's, but the NPC regional chair tracked me down backstage and told me that they wanted to have me compete in the overall against the Open class winners for the overall. I was very surprised because usually at this State championship they have the Closed winners (Masters, Novice,Juniors) compete for their own Overall, but the State Championship Overall is decided strictly between the open weightclass winners.

After the quarter turns, mandatories and final posedown, they announced that it was a close decision, a 3 to 4 split decision, between the Light Heavy and myself. I was placed second.

At 43 years old I was the most conditioned guy onstage that night and at, 208lbs, the second heaviest guy out there. That made this old guy feel fantastic!

lol....one last note - At the end of the posedown I stepped out in front of everyone, dropped into a split and hit a double bi. The crowd loved it!

 

[ironfreak83]
