All 'smiles' in NYC....
My trip to New York was fabulous! I have developed a love for the city and all that it has to offer. Given the opportunity, I would pack up my shit and move there tomorrow!!!
The NY Pro was an 'experience' to say the least. I'm not super ecstatic about the outcome, but I'm not overly disappointed either. I entered the show without any real expectations because I knew I was up against some stiff competition. I'm pretty realistic in my approach to competing however, that doesn't change the fact that I do want to qualify for the Olympia. Unfortunately, I didn't present my best package to date when I took the stage in NY, but I was thrilled to death to be standing up there because I CAN.
Backstage, I was able to visit with some friends and make some new aquaintances as well. I even got to 'pump up' with Nancy Lewis!!!
The show itself was well organized and run very efficiently...thank goodness!
After the show, we were off to Little Italy for some food!
The meal sitting in front of me was actually the third course....a buttery veal shank stuffed with Proscuitto, Provolone and spinach served with pasta....mmmm, it was so good!!!
Of course, dinner in a public place is always interrupted by those who are curious or just plain fascinated by me. These two ladies wandered over to our table to chat and pay me a compliment. It turns out that they're actually from BC and that one of them is a former bodybuilder!!
The world does get a little smaller every day, doesn't it?
Stay tuned for Part 2...coming soon :-)
