There is less than 24 hours until I step on stage at the Australian Championships. My preparation strategies during the final week have gone to plan and are working well – daily tan application, carbohydrate depletion, drinking large 
volumes of water, training, posing practice, daily physique evaluations, and a focused and committed mind set. Today my task was to complete last minute details such as contest registration, final coats of tan, food preparation for competition day, packing my show day suitcase, and ensuring I am fully organised for tomorrow morning. After that it was important that I relax for most of the evening so my body looks as sharp as possible tomorrow at 5:30pm.
Tomorrow, the final placings will determine whether competitors earn a position in the Australian team and represent their country at the upcoming world championships. I know that the standard of competition will be very high. It’s time to find out whether my own standards and efforts have been as high as I expected them to be.
