WOW! A contest prep thread, a good luck thread, AND a congrats thread.... I feel special!!

Thanks so much!! I am still decompressing...and eating ice cream LOL. I am just about disgusted with myself and what I have eaten...it only took a couple of days. So back on track soon and onward to Nationals 11 weeks from this weekend!!!

Since I switched from figure to BB, I won Junior Nats and now the North Americans. Good things come in threes, right? Let's take the momentum to Nationals!!!

I'm still sorting through the pics, but I will post a few from the show in this thread when I have a chance. And I promise I will keep my contest prep thread updated when I get back on track and start making my way to Nationals.

Thanks AJ.

And the finals...overall comparisons

The HW won the overall. She looked GREAT, esp for 50 years old!!... but I kinda thought it was btw me and the LHW, and I expected the LHW to win the overall. LOL what do I know?!?!

WOW!! Your back ,bi's and tri's are unreal !The whole package is. I agree with you, from the pics you showed it seemed she didnt have the overall. Anyway, great job.

Also you hit you conditioning, you look real dry.

It wasn't a terribly controversial decision on the overall, I just think that most people had the LHW as the winner. No one boo'ed or anything LOL, and the winner is a very nice lady, so I am happy for her.
She's 50 years old too, so big props to her!!!!
