It's about time I write this post don't you think??? It's been some time since my competition but it feels like much longer! I definitely felt the post-competition 'blues' and still am a bit. I couldn't get back into my prep routine for days! I didn't have a set plan (despite the warnings I read about not having one :-x ), I thought I would be able to just eat clean knowing that I had to get back into competition mode. That did not quite happen...I indulged way more than I should have and I'll leave it at that. I wish that I had someone close to me who was involved in competitions or who had the same lifestyle to kick me back into gear!! I think it was good that I experienced this feeling of no control though so that I can better be prepared for next time.
I definitely recommend having someone with you the entire day of your first show. I got my 3rd coat of tan that morning then went to my makeup appointment. I was so calm at both. Then I was waiting in the venue for check-in and as soon as other competitors began to arrive I was a nervous wreck!!!! And forgetting my headphones was the worst thing I could have done. I couldn't find any way to calm myself. The lack of air conditioning didn't help either...the hotter I felt the more nervous I got about ruining my tan. Once I was checked in, the meeting was over and we went back stage I felt much better. I hung out with the other competitor that my coach had trained and that helped a bunch since this was her first show also!
