I’m still not sure if the positive outweighs the negatives of competing. I lose sleep & appetite, it triggers a lot of pain from my past even though I intelligently know I am not that smaller person and my people do not think like the ones from my past. I don’t enjoy how I feel leading up and I worry about the impact I have on the people around me because I used to be ‘blamed’.
I DO KNOW… I love moving weight! I love seeing what is possible when training.
I am inspired by others attitude and abilities. The two women in my category were weapons with top attitude .raddo thank you.
I will train as long as I can because it makes me feel alive. It gives me strength. It feeds my soul. I don’t need a competition for any of those things.
For years I thought I needed confidence and that it was missing in me. It often felt like I was ‘broken’ without it.
I realised I have courage. I am brave despite not being confident. I am willing to be ‘messy’ in order to try. And this is what life looks like for me.
I said this was my last competition as a last hurrah to as the gym was changing so life could happen differently for my mate. And I am not sure because while it was a very hard day for me, I loved the actual minutes of the events.
I can’t thank you enough Luke for introducing me to the sport of strongwoman and your patience with my head at times.
And thanks for doing life with me including navigating the mundane and the chaos 🖤
Thank you for organising such a great comp. Well run, on time and so many friendly helpers. You all definitely made the day easier. thanks for the prize pack 👌🏼
Thanks and for some pics and vids. Even that was a challenge for me 🤪
