I placed 2nd in the intermediate under 80kg. I weighed about 170lbs. I felt really flat and didn't pose great and my conditioning let me down I think.
But it was a great experience and I will do it again and learn from my mistakes.
Thanks to everyone who helped me along the way

Good stuff, bud.

Glad to hear it was a good experience for you and I'm sure you'll build on it for future outings.

Conditioning definitely wasn't too shabby at all

thanks for the kind words guys, Ive been a bit down about it as my best wasnt good enough but then again not everyone can go through the hard work to get ready to step on stage so I just need to cheer up and stop being so hard on myself.

thanks M, I am proud, just had a couple of anti climatic days after all the hard work and i overanalysed myself and what i could have done better, which is totally unlike me as I normally see the positive side straight away. but Im back on top now and its all good

I think I do but she likes the grizzly adams look so its coming back

Why? On the contrary you should feel very proud of yourself, Michelin... you did great! Congrats buddy!!

And what really matters is that you've come such a long long way to get to these results... never forget that it's a personal quest before being a competition with others... and you won that first battle... proving yourself you were able to do it. Not many can say so...
