Reflection Time Part 1

Jon Lindsay Himself at LA Championships!
It's been a long time coming and probably the most interesting experience I've encountered on this crazy journey. I was training for the mother load of shows and we were heading to do a wham-bam-2 in a row set of shows. We drove 18 hours to LA for the LA championships. We experienced training at the "Mecca of bodybuilding" aka Golds gym Venice, we experienced a shortage of sweet potatoes (apparently CA only has Yams), we had 6 of us in one house with 3 of us dieting and it was challenging yet very rewarding. We got pulled over twice in CA, competed in my first ever CA show and finally broke up with Tilapia! The show was on a Saturday and figure was out first for prejudging. I received first call out along side another gal and that was it. I was off the stage in a few minutes. The rest of the day was spent cheering for my team mates and waiting, waiting, waiting! The figure division was first in prejudging but last in the evening show. SOO after a long wait, got back on stage and.... WON THE OVERALL :) It was amazing and I felt great about the package I brought to the stage. I have a beautiful sword (as big as me) and memories with great people. That night I chowed down on two rice cakes with almond butter, hit the sack and headed for round 1 of cardio the next morning. You see we still had one more show to go! USA's...

Ciao for now,

J
