Masters 60+ - Tied for First (placed 2nd after the tie-breaker)
Awarded Best Poser trophy

I really enjoyed this contest. Everyone was ready to compete. It was intense but fun. The competitors were loose and friendly. The facilitators were good and the promoter provided one of the best pump up areas I have every seen, lots of equipment, including benches. The show ran smoothly. My only issue, and it was personal, was that they kept us at the athletes meeting a little longer than needed and the show started late. This was a Pro Qualifier and they still took the time to demonstrate the poses for men and women. Not necessary.

The Masters 60+ class was up first and I didn't have enough time to pump up. But none of my competitors did either. We had five minutes to get on stage.

I tried very hard to win my fourth pro card at this show. I tied for First. My chief competitor had better abs than me and a better back (former power lifter). I had a better everything else. It was close. I don't know what the judges did with the tie breaker...but, it doesn't matter. I placed 2nd and that has given me a new drive to strive to be better.

I am going to start a very hard program of drop set workouts. I am going to kick my butt to get a little bigger and harder. I will go back to that show next year and I will win...There will be no tie for First.

I believe I took my self for granted. I believe I could have dieted harder and prepared harder for this show. I know I grew some this season, but I just know I could have worked harder these last six weeks and maybe it would have made the difference. I won't make that mistake again. I have just raised my own bar!!!

I was gratified to receive my fourth Best Poser award. I love posing and I love entertaining the audience. At this show, the audience was very responsive to my routine. At the awards ceremony, the MC asked me to perform my routine again for the audience and I did. Sweet. After, they asked my to say a few words and I took the opportunity to promote senior fitness.
