Emerald Cup 2011



After winning the Team Award

 Another Monday has rolled in and I am happy to say that I survived the Emerald Cup and am back at it again for the next week. I will be heading to Spokane this upcoming weekend for the Empire Classic and my third straight show. Yes, I consider myself a little crazy for doing 3 shows back to back but what type of competitor would I be if I didn't? The more experience the better and I say "Bring it Spokane, I am ready for you!"

This weekend was jammed pack full of competing, prepping, dieting, photo shoots, rooting for my Save Fitness girls and Construction Zone boys, and soo much more! It was a great weekend but I'll let ya in on a little secret...I am tired as heck! I managed to get a few hours of shut eye here and there but not enough to feel rested, surprise surprise, I didn't have time to sleep! Ok so rewind to Thursday... Got a quick workout in before heading to Pete's gym to have a slumber party with the other competitors. This was a lot of fun and I am sure Pete was happy to get all us girls out of his gym come Friday. We stayed up and chit chatted, watched a photo shoot take place, begged for cheesecake (not happening) and much more. Can't give all the details of our girl's night! Friday morning up and at em' at 5, I was in the hair/make-up chair by 5:30 and back to Pete's by 7am. We hung around before heading to the casino for pre-judging. This show was such a wonderful experience compared to my first for the fact there were no major disasters and everyone seemed to feel a lot better coming into the E-cup. The evening show was a hit and I saw more familiar faces than I thought in the crowd. Batman, Robin, and B.C. were all there and it was great to see them! I wish I would have had more time to visit after the show and maybe take more than one Patron shot with them! :) L.Bug and a good friend Bryan along with co-workers were also in attendance and it made me feel more loved than ever. THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU! I placed in the Top 5 at Emerald Cup and I feel great about it. There are always things I need to work on and improve but that will come with more training and time.

Rolled home around 2 am and hit the sack to get up and head to the pre-judging for all the boys! I loved cheering for them and they all made me soo proud! Everyone looked awesome and all their hard work showed. Next headed to a photo shoot then back to the casino for the night show. It was a busy busy weekend and I am feeling the effects of it but one more week and 5 days out from another show... Here is to the final push and a great week!
