Master's Nationals

3rd Place!!!

As most of you know, I decided to go back to Pittsburgh and do the Master's Nationals. Gary Udit does a wonderful job promoting this show. This year, over 300 competitors traveled to Pittsburgh's Station Square. The big move for me this year was to go in as a light-heavy. Dieting down to make middle weights this year seem unobtainable. I had way to good of a off-season to pull that off again this year. After the announment of this show being a pro qualifier, the competition was fierce. Robin Parker who was also a light-heavy, went on and took the overall. Congratulations to Robin.

On a personal note, I want to thank Abdul for a wonderful weekend. Thank you for being patient and going one night without the air conditioning on. Also, my Dad and Jill for thier support. It seemed as though they enjoyed the Station Square area and had the opportunity to do some sight seeing. Jim Hemminger also deserves a special thank you for his time spent on helping me prepare for the Master's Nationals and the Team Universe. I had the opportunity to spend time with my friend Tracey and even helped Steve at the Champion Nutrition display. All in all, this was a wonderful weekend. Now it is time to get back on schedule. I'm looking forward to the Team Universe in NY. I've got 10 days to make a few changes and come in a bit tighter. Until next time....

XOXO
