Olympia 2011

After months of anticipation, the annual Joe Weider Olympia Weekend has come to an end.  This past weekend, the “City of Sin” was transformed into a fitness mecca.  From the aspiring FLEX bikini models to the perfectly developed pro bodybuilder, months of clean eating and hours of intense training didn’t go unnoticed.

This being my first time to the “O,” I wasn’t sure what the weekend would have in store for me.  How massive could this show possibly be?  What new products would be revealed?  And how many new friends would I meet along the way?  By the end of the weekend all those questions were answered and  I felt excited to have my first Olympia adventure under my belt.  Not only did I get to experience the top show in the fitness and bodybuilding world, I had a chance to shoot with some amazing photographers, catch up with friends I hadn’t seen in forever, and even meet some of my role models in the industry.

So now it’s back to reality for me.  Time to lace up my shoes and start  training for the Las Vegas Rock & Roll Half Marathon this December!
