AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL BODY BUILDING

It's official, I've decided to compete in the ANB Qld Championships on Saturday 14 October, 2006. After realising there is only one week difference in the major comps I was convinced not to miss the opportunity. Plus, if I made the INBA Nationals (that's a big IF everyone) I couldn't make it because I'm in Thailand in November. I only have October to do all the comps. Make sense?



I am tracking well. I've experienced no bad episodes.

Big thanks to Di and her massive support and guidance towards my final weeks. With her wedding in less than a week and her work with myself, Penny and the other girls, as well as her personal training, I don't know how she does it! Di, I am feeling very strong, hard and confident. Thanks a million! Thanks Deb for your concerns. I am looking forward to meeting you in October. You're a gem.

Happy training everyone.

I think you competing in the ANB is a great idea. My trainer has put it out there for me to consider also, but I think the INBA is taking up enough stress time as it is lol ;-)
Great to hear your on the up and up, all positive and happy. This post says it all.
And I can't wait to meet you either.
It just occured to me, we aren't on stage together are we? Figure novice :-)

Sounds like a great plan Maraina. I've been hearing all about your progress from Di. Looking forward to seeing you on stage :)

Hi Deb,

No we're not on stage together. I'll be in Figure Novice Short. I'm a "short wheel base unit". That's the name Perry gives me. You're talls!

In ANB I'll be competing in Masters (35yo and over). If I compete next year in INBA I will be in Masters. Go figure eh?

See you there!

Hey Rachel,

Boy are u physhic! Last night I was watching a DVD of you competing in the ANB (2005). Is that weird or what?

Excellent posing and your dance was great too. Was it Di screaming "great butt! Great butt!" Hope my butt is as good as yours.

All the best with your pregrancy!

Good point Deb. Not a hundred percent sure. Usually novice is one division but if there's a lot of entrants (and novice's are often the biggest group) they will split into two. We won't really know 'til Friday at registration.
