Thank you everyone for your words and support. This show was a very tough show and I am very happy with my placing. I was happy enough to take pictures after the show with my girl and be in a great mood! haha
I barely made weight. I weighed in Friday at 165.2, just under the 165 and a 1/4 mark. I was so depleted at this time, actually over depleted and could not start my carb load until after which screwed me in the end. By the time pre-judging started, I was still to flat and dry. I did not peak until the night show in which I was extremely pleased with how I placed. I was happy with 3rd place based on how I looked at pre-judging, I would not have been happy with 3rd if I looked like I did at night, at pre-judging. Regardless, I am very pleased with what I put together.
This next year, I will be placing a TON of size on to compete at the middleweight level!
THANKS EVERYONE!!!
