I just found the dates for this years nationals and it is going to be in Aug again which gives me just under 9 mths to prep, more than enough in my past life…..with my new back I now need more time for prep and am limited so I have to become creative in order to replace my acrobatics with other ‘wow’ factors.

I have my routine costume, may need a touch up but will worry about that when I drop 18-20 lbs of winter weight…………well no, actually that would be my total most loss needed to compete. I actually hope to compete lean yet slightly heavier so for now lets just get 10 or 12 lbs off because that is all useless comfort fat.
I have rested well since my last contest, progressing down to a very light schedule which is not really to me….working out, I mean it is but when you are used to 100x more and higher pace etc its so hard to back off, but I did. I conditioned and rested my back and am now on the program posted to ease me in.
I must confess, I did not dig in yet…….I will keep you posted on if today becomes day I or not……..intention is there.

Well……this obviously means I am going to compete and if you read my previous stuff, you know I wanted to stay local, not really have to travel……………well I got my wish. I guess cbbf and the other competitors really did like this venue here and location so for us vancourites its a bonus!
My suit is being worked on, my music needs tweaking but is pretty much chosen………….bam, just like that I am ready to rock and need to just focus on the body!
