Hey my dear friends, Finally i got first place ;) .. see the news. There are links to the picture galleries and results as well :) The contest was great, i feel happy i made the personal record 82,5kg and i must admit that after i did it, i felt that i could have done also 85 or even more. I had some power left. Just i didnt want to risk. We, with Ott Kiivikas, had open there also a Fitness.ee box and after my contest was finished i was behind the desk and offered protein bars and shakes and measured bodyfat who wanted ;) .. it was cool event and i suppose who participated will say the same :) The contest was in Tartu and the weather was ugly. From Tartu i went directly to Pärnu, visited Aire and Agnes and on Sunday visited also my mom and brother, Alar.
