It was a rough fucking week. Stressor after stressor. Friday check-in...they didn't have me listed for Figure Masters. I almost walked out, but someone said that the guy who runs IPL might be able to fix it. For clarity, Figure Masters is the very first thing I signed up for in December and it's what I've been mainly focused on for the last 9 months. To be told, no they had me down for Bikini Masters....ugh. Devastating!
Those are my only three photos from the show because...I don't think anyone took any of me. I don't think anyone I know showed up. There might be a group photo somewhere, but I don't have a copy. Pretty typical.
People, you can't rely on others to be there for you. It's great if they are, but you have to be able to do shit on your own.
I ended up taking 1st place Figure Masters 40+, 2nd for Bikini Model Masters 40+, and 3rd for Evening Gown Masters 40+. I feel like I was not as good as I could have been. All of those little stressors really fucked me over. I was like mentally fried by 10am on show day, totally exhausted. What can you do, except move on and do better next time?
I have 2 medals, but since they didn't have Figure Masters 40+ on their list, they didn't have a trophy or medal ready. That's right. I won because I was the only entrant. shrugs Whatever. It's still a win.
Here's a photo of me from Sunday morning...~5:30am. This was the day after the show.
I'm pretty psyched about my arm development. I can't wait to make more progress.
My next show is going to be down in Georgia in November. My goals for the next 8 weeks is to focus on reducing my waist, building my shoulders, and increasing my legs/glutes.
At least I know that I'll have someone in the audience supporting my efforts at that show.
