I placed 2nd in my division - Bikini Tall!!! Stepping on stage was such an awesome experience and to place 2nd was proof that all my hard work and dedication paid off!
The week before the competition was intense. I was cut off of eating gum early in the week which is a habit i've picked up through this training and, let me tell you, having to quit cold turkey was tough! Wednesday was my last day of training and Thursday and Friday were meant for rest and prepping everything for the trip.
We got to Saskatoon Friday and had to meet for the competitor weigh ins that evening. The bikini category does not have to weigh in, but we did have to get our suits and shoes passed by the judges. The suit bottoms have to cover at least half of your bottom or you will be disqualified! I got a look at some of my competitors and it was intimidating! Next was off to get my spray tan! Two coats of painted on tan later and it was time for bed....I was so ready for the next day to begin!
Competition day is a long day! Pre-judging was at 9am. This is where the judges ultimately make their decision. My photoshoot was booked for 4pm and the evening show started at 6pm.
I met so many great girls and their was a lot of fierce competitors at the show! It was really refreshing to get to talk to people who've been going through the same prep as I have been...and then add a cherry on top to gvie me 2nd place!
This month is a hard one to follow!....but i'll try! Provincials are in less than 4 weeks and i'm going to try my best to place and qualify for Nationals!!! Here we go again!
