Hi folks,

Well it’s three days out from the ANB Sydney Championships and if it’s anything like last year’s event; it’s going to be one hell of a show. Some people even refer to it as the ‘Mini Nationals’ because the quality of athletes that come out of the woodwork for this show is amazing. 

I just arrived home from a 3 km walk i'm about to have my pre-sleep meal. Going to have an early night tonight because last night's sleep was a shocker! My son Riley was sick in his bed during the night, so I was up with him for a little bit, then when everybody was sleeping again, he was sick a second time. So during the night I changed his sheets twice, showered him twice and did a load of washing. I think I had about 3 hours sleep in total which was not very good, especially when you have a busy day planned at work the next day. Anyways.... let's hope tonight I can catch up .

I had a day off the weights today, as I have already trained legs, back, chest and shoulders this week. I will complete a circuit style session tomorrow followed by 45 minutes of cardio and then the same again on Saturday. Then get tanned then start my evening pre-comp routine. 

The show on Sunday should be great! I'm looking forward to catching up with my mate Aaron Braithwaite who is flying up from Melbourne, as well as all my team mates from Muscle Beach Supplements Australia and all my other competitor and non-competitor friends. I think Luke Schembri and a few of the other bigger boys. It's great to see everybody at the shows. 

This will be my last show until next years nationals. I was hoping to fly down to Melbourne and compete in the Natural mania, however logistically I just can't get there. It's not only the cost involved that makes me unable to compete in it, but also organising child care for the weekend and stuff like that. I hadn't planned on doing that show until it popped into my head recently and became a possibility. Anyhow, I wish all those athletes the very best who are doing that show. Maria is very passionate about promoting the show and the feedback I have read and the photos I have seen really do sell it as a premier event on the ANB calendar.

Okay, well it's been great chatting and i'll give an other update either tomorrow or Saturday.

Bye for now.
