I went backstage, and the first thing I did was grab a chocolate out of my bag, oh it was sweet. After that I put my clothes on and went and saw all my family and friends. I love the walk back from backstage to where you are sitting because people you have never seen before congratulate you like they know you due to watching you onstage, I thank those people for the encouragement it means a lot.
I went back to my seat and was greeted by all my mates. Nothing but good things I heard from them and everyone was telling me I had it, I replied with," Not till tonight". After I had a chat to most of the people on how things went that I knew Duncan and I quickly drove back to my place to apply Duncan's final application of Dream Tan. I was on top of the moon, I was so happy but I so wanted to keep my condition for the night show so I didn't drink any fluids.
I continued to nibble on some chocolate while I was waiting for Duncan to go onstage and the pre-judging to go to the end. Duncan competed at about P. It was the second most contested division after the under 90kg. The guy who came first was really on, although his legs could get a little bigger to match his massive upper body, he was as hard as nails, full and had a massive, ripped and thick chest that stood out like dogs balls but complimented his overall physique.
Duncan fought is way through the whole prejudging, outclassing a lot of competitors with his posing and posing routine which is always so graceful and liked by everyone. After Duncan had finished pre-judging we went straight home for 2 hours of rest and relaxation. All we have now is the night show.
I still didn't blow out too much in regards to my diet. I kept nibbling on chocolate, still staying away from fluids as the increase in carbs will hold onto the fluid and quiet possibly retain water.
I ate some fruit, chicken breast and dried apricots. At P. I was lucky to be on third again so I didn't have to wait too long. I was there for about an hour before finals got underway. I finished off my coffee rice at about P. I finally got on stage about P. I was really happy for when I was on stage doing my posing routine for the night show as the crowd got right behind me and it was awesome.
I changed my routine up a bit so I would be walking around the stage more, getting the crowd involved and this was really fun. From the time I started to pump up until the places were awarded. Well it was finally time to hear what the judges had decided. Looking back at the video, it didn't look like I was nervous, but I was and I didn't know what was going to happen. They announced 5th, then they announced 4th place, this was followed by a pause an announcement that this is the top 3 and then 3rd was announced.
I was surprised with thirds finish, as he looked awesome backstage. So it was down to 2. I am so used to hearing my name called out for second place I was almost expecting it, there was a bit of a pause and my name wasn't read out.
I jumped back clenching both fists with the biggest smile imaginable. I was ecstatic; I had the biggest smile on my face. I shook all the other guys hands and then jumped into the middle and took some photos.
We then filed of stage and I couldn't believe the feeling I was feeling. All those early mornings, weight sessions by my self, cardio done in the rain and cold and the sacrifices such as not being able to eat tasty foods that were made. All those feelings combined into a feeling of relief, enjoyment.
The feelings I felt were overwhelming. I had never been that happy in all my life, I wanted the win so bad and I got it! Unreal feeling. I got changed as quickly as possible and met Duncan half way coming down the stairs, the look on his face was awesome, he was so happy for me but I owe him a lot. He congratulated me and told me that I should have seen the look on my dads face.
