| For the past couple of Nationals (and CNI's) I'd always been away and hadn't been able to help the girls hands on SO it was great to be around this year to watch the CNIs and Nationals..and to see the girls through. And what great presents they gave me! Firstly Karen Montague (aka Montylicious) in her Sen Fig 35 class against some pretty tough competition of Judy Duggan from Invercargill. I knew Monty had a battle on her hands as Judy had come in good condition I've seen her but Monty's overall structure and condition just pipped Judy in the end. |

But I tell you,I was preparing (and probably Monty too) to get 2nd. I knew Monty, being the cruisy cool chick she is would be able to handle the decision either way but I was happy ofcourse to hear and see Monty placing 1st. Now the first place is done and dusted, Monty says that's one goal off the list and now she'll have to find another motivation. Open maybe Monty?!!
Heidi Kruger was up next in the Open Figure Shortclass and another tough one as plenty of highly
conditioned athletes but particularly from Paula Signal and Sheryl Patterson. One of the things I wanted Heidi to do on stage was Smile more. And that day on stage, I'd never seen her so happy - ok she did manage a frown or two - but overall was most happy with the smile. There was about 6 in Heidi's class and the judges spent some time doing comparisons particular between Paula, Heidi and Sheryl. Sheryl had great muscle and hard legs so thought she's possibly win and she proved me right. She went on to win the Overall Figure so Heidi placing 2nd wasn't so bad and I think Heidi's made a new friend with Sheryl ...one of many through bodybuilding. So in that aspect I'm glad Heidi's still enjoying her bodybuilding journey and making it the stable of her very hectic life!Now Teneka Hyndman in the bodyfitness class - very interesting. I always thought bodyfitness was basically a fuller rounder physique competitor. You know, athlete with good V, delts and good condition without being too defined. And that was how I prepared Teneka to look. The best I'd seen her look if I do say so myself! Teneka's class was tough as Kristy and Nicki Taylor were all in good condition in their own different way. But it was Kristy Thompson who took out the class, she was probably a little leaner and flatter looking. Don't get me wrong I'm happy for Kristy!!
I'm just confused as to what Bodyfitness is. Considering Mandi Mathison was probably closer in condition in shape and condition to Kristy but she was placed 2nd in Bodyfitness Tall. I don't know this class - go figure!! if anyone can give me some insight into this class would be great for future reference.
Anyway, it was great to be at the show to see the Supergirls in action. Thanks for your support girls and hope to make you even more super next year!
