Today I placed third in the Australian Figure Open (tall) Class. The competition was particularly intense with every single competitor vying to qualify for the world championships in two weeks. I had my work cut out for me, the standard of competition was extremely high and I could not lose focus or concentration for a second. I was happy with my nutrition throughout the day, timing my intake optimally so as to present the fullest, hardest, driest physique possible. It has been another mentally, emotionally and physically intense day, beginning at 6:00am and it is now 10:30pm. Time to scrub off the tan, rehydrate and get an early night.
I now have two weeks until the world championships. There is
no time to lose. I have another opportunity to improve, to lift heavy weight for one week before reducing calories and experiencing the associated diminished physical strength. But the strength of my mind set will not falter. It’s time to bring everything I have to the table and put my determination, commitment and utmost effort to the ultimate test!
With two contests behind me and two more ahead, I am prepared to invest every single resource, skill and personal quality I possess into earning a top three position in the world.
