2003 Jr. USA--picture of me...

I placed 3rd in Figure and 6th in Fitness. I have a pulled hamstring and wasn't able to do my routine as good as I know I could have, but I did the best I could. I was actually tied for 5th, but when they broke the tie I got knocked out of the top 5. Oh well...
I'm still happy about placing 3rd in Figure, especially since there was some really tough competition in my class.

Other pictures can be seen in my Personal Photo Gallery

Thanks guys! And, yes, Dero, you can say that I look mighty fine.

I was feeling mighty fine after doing so well in my first National Level competition.

In a few weeks I'll be in Pittsburgh before Jim Manion and a lot of the other big IFBB judges again. I'm shaking in my heels

No, I wasn't there (unfortunately). Malcom Marshal , who placed first in super heavy weight, trains at my gym. He brought in a lot of pics. I'll have to pour over them again to see if you are in any of them.

Congrats Lorraine....your physique just keeps getting better

Well done Lorraine, You look amazing

Posted by: Tank316

awesome!!!! great job.

Posted by: Lorraine

Gosh...you guys are so sweet! I feel like such a schmoe because I don't have the time lately to visit/post more often.

I hope to take a little break after Pittsburgh, but I'm not sure now. My trainer may want me to do Jr. Nationals which I wasn't originally planning on doing.

I was definitely doing BodyRock again in July, but since they don't allow crossovers at that show I haven't decided which division I want to compete in (Fitness or Figure).

The routine round really beats my body up. I am so sore after a show I can barely move for days afterward. I think it's a combination of the hard floor, the adrenaline and the fact that you just go all out balls to the walls. Many of us compare bruises backstage after our routines. It's pretty sad.

hows your hamstring?

getting better i hope

Posted by: Lorraine

Rissole~That is a weird expression...isn't it? But there's no way else to express it. The adrenaline is high and you know you have to go out there and give it your all in your routine for the judges.

Tank~my hamstring is coming along. It's has really started to loosen up the past couple of days. I just have keep streeeeeetching it.

Posted by: Tank316

glad to hear it, good luck in the future Dragon Lady!!!

Posted by: gopro

Wow...just saw this thread. Honest opinion...you look truly fantastic! What a great shape you have. Beautiful, just beautiful. Congratulations!

Posted by: Lorraine

Thanks GoPro!

More good news...
I placed 1st in Fitness and 2nd in Figure in Pittsburgh last weekend.

I had not planned on doing Jr. Nationals in June, but my friends and trainer have convinced me that I should. So, I'm headed to Chicago.

And after a little arm twisting, Monica and her co-promoter convinced me to do her show (BodyRock-Monica Brant Fitness Classic) again in July.

When am I going to get to eat?

Since my hubby didn't attend this show, I don't know when I'll see pictures from the show. However, keep an eye out for a little article on me on www.bodysport.com. Terry Goodlad, the editor, was there shooting the event and is in the process of writing a short piece on me.

Also, keep an eye out in Flex and Ironman for coverage from the contest. They were also there covering the show.

Oh hell! It looks like I'm doing Jr. Nationals. By the time this year is done and over with, I would have done 7 shows!

Lord help me!

I'll be making my first real attempt at a Pro card in the Figure division at Team Universe. Then in the Fitness division at Fitness Nationals. Again, Lord help me!

Yeah...my trainer has been literally working my butt off and essentially reshaping my entire physique.

No!!! Not for me!!

Only on the ladies.

Nice high heel shoes just make the leg look so much better.

I'm always bugging w8, trying to get her to wear them around the house.

Hey FD! You're located in Miami? You've got to come give me a cheer or two at Nationals in November. I'll email you the details if you're interested.

Congrats and that's a great little article as well.

Keep up the hard work, you look totally awesome.

Well, we are still waiting to get in, apparently they are booked, but expect they should have a cancelation.

It will be the Avant Labs booth. I will certainly keep you posted.

WOW Lorraine!! Looking GREAT!
You keep getting better and better every year!!

Posted by: Lorraine

dvlmn666~thank you! good to hear from you

Twin Peak~yes, definitely let me know. I'll keep an eye out for your booth.

Looking fantastic Lorraine and 3rd is simply awesome expecially being your 1st Natl. show. Only one place to go from here and that is up to number 1. Have faith in you and your abilities for sure. And a note to the other women here. Notice the absence of Implants on this lovely lady??? Totally natural and a winner. Implants don't make you a winner. Hard work, hard body, determination, and lots of sweat make you a winner like Lorraine. Way to go girl!!!!!!

Posted by: Lorraine

FS~Thank you! I am hoping to do well at Jr. Nationals as well, but you know how that can go. All I can do is show up in shape and do my thing and hope to get noticed.

I do appreciate your very generous compliments and praise. It's encouragement like yours that helps me to stick with it and continue to improving with each show.

Posted by: firestorm

Well can't wait until the Juniors are over. Look forward to seeing the trophy Lorraine.
