Back from Miami. I placed 4th. I was .4 away from 3rd place. I did think that things went well, but to everyone's surprise, WNSO (due to unforseen circumstances) changed the event venue on the Wednesday before the event.(I was to leave on the Friday for the event.) That was a bit disconcerning. It moved from the Deauville hotel to Hollywood, FLA which was 45 mins away. The stage ended up being very small, which freaked me out as I am not used to having curtains, posters, and mic equipement so close to my performance. I did downgrade a few things and when you practice you move in a certain way, so during the performance I was constantly checking and guessing my distance around the stage in preparation for the next move. Tough, but I got through it.
My goal at this event was to work out the bugs of competing again, and the nerves. I am proud of that. I was really nervous as it had been 2 years since being in front of a crowd.
Here are some pics...
The results...Sheri 1st, Sylvia 2nd, Amelie 3rd, and me 4th. I am not sure of the rest of the results but the girls were all so good. The show was very small, but a good quality of competitor.
Next up is the FAP Nationals so I will be working really hard until then. I have to lean out my body more, and up my difficulty in my routine, but I know that I can do it. I am hoping for a top 5 finish. There is a max of 30 girls competing in the event, as FAP capped it to 30 girls this year. I am excited to see friends, and have some girl time.
I did my miss 'little guy' when I was away and am happy to be back taking care of him.
Gotta go and make a training 'plan' for the week.

MASSIVE CONGRATS to you Allison.
You know to come back from being pregnant, re-tune the physique, and nail a 4th, is pretty impressive.
Tough to lose 3rd by 0.4, but really, to have come 4th, from your post-pregnancy startpoint, is just a fanttastic achievement.
I'm sure if you could physically jump over the moon, you probably would have ;-).
I know in the future Zach will be so proud of his talented Mother, and you definitely should be proud of yourself. This is a wonderful comeback to competing, and even given your starting point, you proved that Champions heart and spirit, is still as strong as ever.
I know you will be everything you are capable of and possibly more at the FAP.
GOOD LUCK Allison, we're all routing for you as ever, and you did look absolutely amazing in the pics, I know you'll sparkle even more, when you've finished tweaking the physique some more.
All the best Allsion, you are a real inspiration.
:-) :-).
