Victory at the State Championships

Today I accomplished what I envisioned when I began pursuing my goals 33 weeks ago.  I claimed first place in the Victorian tall figure class.  The competition was tough and the impressive quality of competitors demanded that I give everything to earn my victory.  I was prepared for a high standard of competition and was not going out without a fight.

Tonight I will eat steak, rice, vegetables and drink plenty of water to rehydrate.   And I will take my first shower in almost three days (the process of tanning requires 2-3 days to allow the skin dye to set into the skin)!  My focus is now on the Australian Championships in 28 days, so I cannot let my guard down with nutrition or training for one second if I am to continue achieving success as I have defined it. An early (ish) night tonight, and I will resume full strength training and high calories tomorrow.  I will review my training and nutrition log and analyse the strategies I used to get to this point.  I will capitalise on those that were effective and discard any that weren’t.  I will have to raise my standards even higher for my next competition.  I have four weeks to make improvements to my physique and I intend to use every single minute!
