New York - Day 48 (14/10)
Helens final! Got up at 5am with her to put her last coat of tan on. Washed her hair for her (can’t ruin the tan), left with Simon and did sprints. What a long day! Arrived at the theatre for Helen to register at 8am, loads of body builders outside smoking! What kind of sport is this? Healthy!?! The pre-judging started at 10am, loads of body builders in each category, Helen didn’t pre-judge till 1.45pm, she looked great, real confident. Dean and I watched the pre judging and looked after all the food, cool boxes and weights. The show was meant to start at 7pm, doors opened at 8pm (pre judging only finished before 7pm!) far too long for spectators, let alone all the poor dehydrated body builders etc. Helen came on and did her routine, looked great and in shape, much better than all the other girls. Next was the one piece, (dean and I were so nervous), shouted “come on 126” just in case judges weren’t sure who the winner clearly was!” Helen won! Helen is now officially the UKBFF British Fitness Champion. Look at our coach Simon’s website www.seriouspt.com and Helen’s website for more pics www.thetrulystrong.co.uk What a long drive back to Torquay – but it was worth it!
