JR. NATIONALS I finally cracked the top 5! The show in Charleston was great, it was my first time there. I went down with 4 other girls I train and hang out with, which made it even more memorable.
I was really nervous about looking too hard and lean. The judges have told me I look too much like a bodybuilder in the past, so I decided to get as small as possible for this show. I spent the last 6 weeks doing 45 min of cardio twice a day, and then at 4 weeks out, completely taking all carbs out of my diet. I was the lightest I’ve been at a national show, and very ripped. The night before prejuding, I ate pizza, a burger, a milk shake and some Kit Kats. It may have softened me up some, but I was still very vascular. The morning of the show, I tried not squeezing or over-posing at all on stage. The NPC wants figure to become less hard, more feminine, and doesn’t want us girls squeezing and flexing anymore. So I had fun just standing there! I also darkened my hair this show, and had 2 new suits I stoned myself.
All the planets were lined up, and I placed fourth! I was completely THRILLED and can’t wait to come back next year and do Masters Nationals in Pittsburg in July, and then maybe the USAs in Vegas the next weekend. For now, it’s off to Okinawa for 3 years to keep training, and tweaking my physique. I hope to widen my back just a bit more, increase the sweep on my quads, and keep plyo-ing away my booty!!
