Tuesday already, Wellington now a dim and dark carb depleted memory.  Well, not really, but a memory all the same, something we can revisit when we have a little more time!  Sights re-focussed on Nationals on the 1st of October, so back into the routine straight off the bat.

So results from Wellington NABBA 2011, I entered Masters Athletic this time around, thought I'd better act my age for a change.  A neat class of 6 well tuned bodies, one belonging to an airline pilot Kristian Olsen (I think it was), who flies with my cousins husband.  Small world!  Anyway, won my section there, and went on to take the overall.  Greg Mawson knocking out Andrew Murray in the Open Athletic earlier so overalls was butting heads with Greg and the novice winners.

Vanessa entered the Over 35 figure and placed second to last years national champ Sue Bettridge.  A tight tussle with Ness's improvements pushing Sue all the way.  Look for a different result we hope in two weeks time! 

Pairs we placed second from a group of four.  Pairs are always fun, and we always manage to foul something up in the routine, but manage to stumble through it, as we did again.  One day we'll nail it!

And always learning too.  Posing is a never ending journey, and again at this comp got a little pointer from Ness and kapow, looks like I've done another ten years worth of weight lifting in half a flex!  Change an angle, point a toe, twist a wrist - always something to change and improve on, it's just wicked.  So two weeks ago Lisa, and now Vanessa this week have improved my physique without an ounce of sweat expended at the gym.  Wish it was as easy as that always!

So NABBA Nationals in two weeks.  Trainer visit this Sunday, then another on way up to Auckland on Friday for the weigh in.  Great, I love the weight in the night before a comp - gives you a chance to carb up overnight and hit the stage looking sharp and full.  Mind you, these two comps this year my weight has been on finely tuned and in control I have been carbing up from the Thursday night before comp anyway! 

All systems go, lets get it on (in two weeks)...
