Well no great news to report, only good news. I placed 4th in the Masters 40+ class out of 13 competitors. Not a bad showing but I knew I could have done better had my posing been on target. My wife Adelia took several pictures of me and when I viewed them I couldn't believe what I was looking at....I looked like an amateur! I wasn't prepared enough, I thought I was but apparently not. Oh well, live and learn.

My BF did drop to where I wanted it to as shown below, but I feel I could have been just a little more tighter. You will notice that I dropped quite a bit of water weight during the last few days, this extra water weight will generally be considered part of your "Lean body mass" this due part of the inaccuracy of a Caliper measurement. So even though I lost those pounds, I was still 4 pounds heaver than the last time I competed and just as lean.

As you can see from the photo below, there were quite a few of us on stage. It was hot, it was crowded and there were blinding lights. Instead of retyping what I have already entered in my Newsletter, I am asking you to please click this link and read on for more about how my evening went.

Thank you all for taking the time to read my Journal, I hope you have enjoyed the writings. I am by no means a prolific writer as many of you have probably already guessed but I just thought that it would be nice to share my experiences with the visitors of my site.

Kinds Regards,
