Thank you so much to the amazing team of ladies who saw the Go Figure vision to present an exhibition of figure to encourage others to get into the sport we're so passionate about.
Suzie Baxter, Maddi Tennant, Lucia Oles, Pichuda Copeland, Toia McDonald, Sarah Parr, Leanne Simays and Johanna Mountfort, you were all amazing and thanks for putting in the effort to get in great shape for Go Figure and for your great routines.  Jill Clark did an awesome job as always as MC and kept the crowd wanting more from the ladies. And to DJ Timi T, you did a great job and perhaps this could be your part time job.

The gorgeous Showgirls

The huge crowd turn out!

Loren

Also thanks to my Super Amazing Intern for the weekend Loren Chibnell who became my Girl in charge at the stand, second brain, happy snapper and trophy girl.  Thanks for thinking when I wasn't and taking charge when you need to!

The Go Figure Showcase attracted a huge crowd who were there to cheer the girls on.  In a fun and relaxed atmosphere which was injected with a huge dose of adrenalin, the girls had a fantastic time showing their bodies to a new audience and I'm pretty sure they all had a great time.


Maybe we could encourage a few more to join in the fun next year!

Thanks again to all those who were part of the experience and the crowd that came to cheer us on!

Lucia moved to New Zealand in 2007 and currently works in Technology at ASB Bank. Last year she attended the Fitness Expo in July and was instantly inspired to clean up her diet even more, and start lifting weights.  She set herself a goal of competing for the first time in 2013. 

She was incredibly happy to accomplish this goal at the NABBA Counties Manukau Championships in April this year, where she placed first in the Novice Figure class.  Now she's preparing for my next figure competition, the NZIFBB Auckland Championships in August.
