Last week was a rough week and I apogize for not getting the weekly update or my contest report from Windsor, CO posted. Despite the tornado that ravaged Windsor, the contest was held, though in a different location, and I walked away with third place.
I'll be competing again this weekend in Des Moines, IA (not WA). It was a great contest last year, and with a pro card being awarded to the winner of the heavyweight division, a top notch competition is guaranteed.
Next weekend also see's chasingkaz co-author, Mike Gill chasing his pro card in New Jersey. Rumor has it that this is his first contest ever as a lightweight and he's got some killer abs. Welcome to the skinny kids club, Mike!
