Good Luck with your Show Mike, I'm sure it will be great!

Meanwhile, we will be enjoying Kaye & Darryl's famous "athlete hospitality" here in Tauranga - it is going to be a fun day!

Good Luck to everyone competing today - I believe that at the end of the day, we just want to compete in WELL RUN SHOWS!

Yes, it is THAT simple

This is pretty good mate when you take into consideration the impat the quake has had on things down there.

Well done Mike and also the Chrstchurch training community for supporting the show. Respect.

[Gym rat]

Good job Mike those great numbers plus given what happend in Christchurch a few weeks ago with the quake

[Darwinstef]

Right-o, just back from the morning show.

First up thanks to Mike D for his hospitality, I was given freedom to roam where I liked which was much appreciated.

Venue wise the Auroa centre has always been great and not much has changed there, nice atmosphere and comfy seating = win.

Show started pretty much on time give or take a few minutes (forgot to check my watch) and from my point of view seemed to run very smoothly. All over by 1.30pm with 58 competitiors. The standard was very high as the attached pics should show. Steve Orton is still a monster and I will admit to a fair bit of muscle envy going on there haha.

The 70-80kg and classic men classes were two of my favourites with 4 and 6 competitors respectfully.

The other stand out class was the novice figure short with 10 very well presented ladies. Glad Im not a judge .

This was the first non-NABBA show I had attended so apologoies for the lack of names thrown around, there were people I had seen before but putting names to them was another story .

Anyway I am a bit pressed for time (work beckons) so will quickly resize my 179 pictures and pick the better ones to post. I'm not picking any winners in the classes but I do think Steve will take some beating. I can't make the evening show so hopefully someone else can update.

Well done Mike.

Juniors and masters.

Have to agree with Darwinstef, great show, well run and a very good standard all round.

The Classic class had some great muscle on display (no 50 and weener lad would be my picks there) and the Masters class was also excellent with Terry Hills looking sharp.

[Darwinstef]

Disclaimer....rather than getting classes wrong I will leave them out if unsure :oops: I will put it down to being dazzled by the lovely ladies ....I do know the lady on the right in the first pic was the only junior female.

[Darwinstef]

Physique ladies and I popped out for a sec and missed what weights these last two were.

[Darwinstef]

I have quite a few more pics so if you are after some more of yourself then PM me and I will e-mail them to you. It took me ages to put these up so they will do as an idea (there must be an easier way to upload multiple pics Peusdo? and don't say zip them :pfft: )

[weener lad]

:clap: :clap: Darwinstef that's a solid effort getting all those photos up so quick. Any chance you can photoshop mine to give me that Muscletech vain popping shit LOL :pfft:

Good morning show well done Mike so far another well run on time show.

Bring on the night show and good luck everybody

[Pseudonym]

Fantastic photos, Stef! I can imagine it did take you ages to upload them - there's so many I've spent ages just looking at them all! It looked like a great show... thanks for covering it for us.

BTW - yes, you can upload multiple files at once by zipping them into one file. Upload that, and the system then unzips the file and posts all the photos for you. Next time, eh?! :wink:

[michaelk]

How do I get to view the pics in normal size, they are coming up blown up on my computer. I've tried F5 with no luck.

[Pseudonym]

Hmm. It's supposed to resize each image to fit the page automatically, but there might have been a caching issue with your browser. What browser are you using?

I've just tweaked the code a little - is it working for you now?

I had the same prob, even after the tweaking... swapped by browser for firefox browser and all sweet

Congratz to all the competitors, looking good

[musclenz]

Well done Mike - good show. Nice to see so many getting a chance to compete in Australia. :clap:

[thatwaslight]

[nate225]

Good effort Mr Debenham! Massive to see athletes heading off shore to compete.

Congrats to Steve for the overall - much improved conditioning since his last outing. :clap:

Great pics Darwinstef.
