Thanks very much... it's funny.. the competitor in me grows more and more disatisfied with the outcome. But one side of me says that I did absolutely everything I knew to do AND I was in the best shape I've ever been in.
I competed in the Men's Novice middleweight. In that group I came in 3rd place. The weight division was 165-187 and I weighed 170.5 the night before the show. The two guys that beat me would normally have been light heavyweights. They looked awesome.
I also competed in the Men's Open Middleweight. The guys in that group were really awesome. The weight class was more typical -- 165-176.25. These guys looked so much bigger to me that 176.25! There were 11 quality competitors in that group and I ended up at 7th. I feel like I wasn't far from the top 5, but these guys knew what they were doing, and I'm truly a novice!
I had a great time as did my family. However, I really want to step it up for the next show. I think I need to.. 1) add 8-10 lbs muscle, 2) come in leaner 3) improve my stage presentation (relaxed and mandatory poses).
Thanks for the response!
