Culver City Pro Figure 2004

19th place at my 4th Pro Figure show

The preparation for this show was more or less the same as the previous year.
However I was in a vehicle accident exactly one week before the show and was not able to train as intense as I normally do. Bummer!!
While in Cali, I also booked photoshoots two days before the show and one day before the show.
I was exhausted after the 2nd shoot.
This, I believe was my downfall at this show. I did not give my body enough rest after the long flight from St. Maarten.
I was on my feet for the dew days before the show which was the reason for the water retention in my legs.
Now I know how important rest is for me when I fly just before a competition. I will not make that mistake again.
Having said all of that, my placings were horrible.
However, I do believe that I could have placed higher despite all that happened.
