First Place Figure - UKUP

For those of you who follow me on Instagram or FB you will already know from the high volume of pics taken by my sister and Laura that I placed 1st in my category and then 1st overall female in the Ultimate Physiques competition on Saturday.

Originally I had set out to do BNBF Figure category but ended up behind in prep due to recovering from my op longer than expected, loosing my job in February, then moving abroad and adjusting to life in Vienna as well as training up on a new discipline, I also started my own business and continued my studies in order for me to get a place on the MSc Project Management Course I wanted to do in September.  To say it hasn't been a stressful year is a complete understatement!  Most of the comps in Scotland are April to June time, so the Ultimate Physiques comp was the last comp I could hit without my prep being wasted.  

I am so glad I did the comp! although there wasn't as much competitors in the Scottish comp compared to their other qualifiers in England, I have to say it was the most enjoyable comp I have done so far.  Everything was so well organised, and flowed smoothly and I felt a lot more relaxed.  The girls back stage were so friendly too which totally put me to ease as I am not the most confident person on stage and my nerves do tend to get the better of me.  I highly recommend anyone competing (especially for the first time to consider UKUP).

I am really proud of what I have achieved in 9 months and the changes in my body and thats the most important thing of all being better than you were the last time stepping up on stage.  

Just a few pics from the weekend...
