2006 Sandra Wickham Fall Classic
Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championships
Figure - Short Class (Top 3)
I had a 'heads up' to look out for Teresa Funk at this show and she lived up to the
advance billing - lean and defined, yet proportional. 2 weeks later she still
looked that way in the gym! Another outstanding competitor in this class was
Angie Paterson - excellent size and shape, arguably the best 'quarter turn to
the right' pose here to demonstrate that. Hopefully we'll have more from her in
the future. Back to Teresa, in her own words,
"The gym has always been a passion of mine since the age of 18, I loved how I
felt after working out and the way I looked physically and it was obvious to
other people that I really enjoyed taking care of my body. However, I was
losing interest in working out just to stay in shape. When I started
training at Great West 2 years ago I'd seen some people who competed. Seeing
the amazing hard work and transformation that these people had gone through
really had me thinking hard about my perspective in the gym. After seeing
my friend Maria Sharp who won her class in a Kelowna show in 2006, and with
a whole lot of encouragement from people and my husband, it really inspired
me to want to push myself to the next level. I thought it over for a long
time to see if I would have that kind of dedication and diligence to
compete. It was finally June of this year that I decided to get on it! After
six months of hard training I won my class in my first show! It was
definitely well worth all the hard work and effort. I'm so grateful to my
coaches and trainers, I have learned so much from them, and I'm truly
blessed! I look forward to competing in the BC's!!"
