What's
OC backwards? Yep, CO, and that's where Carla Sanchez' band of
merry competitors came from (Colorado, for those of you who don't
know your postal abbreviations) to dominate much of the Orange
County Fitness & Figure Championships.
"These
shows are much more than learning how to keep protan from streaking
or how
to apply eyelashes without getting glue in your eyes or the
fact that winking at the judges might not be the best thing for
your presentation or that walking in six-inch heels is worse
than walking
on hot coals or that Vaseline doesn't really have that bad of a
taste, but man, does it feel nasty on your teeth. It's
much more than fake nails, highlights, implants, piercings,
whatever else we do
to adorn our bodies and say, "look at me, look at me." It's
more than stuffing cheese and pepperoni pizza and fudge brownies
and cheeseburgers into our mouths and letting our tastebuds have
a glorified experience.
In reality, competing in bodybuilding, fitness, and figure is a
test of our strength and a battle of our wills. If you can
make it to the day of the show and stand on that stage and present
yourself
in the way you envisioned all along, then you are a success."
