Sometimes not having competition is not a bad thing. My first contest had a Mr North Vancouver section and no one else enterred from there so I won my first title unopposed! Goodrum has this art down to a science. Trouble was some dude enterred the novices who really should have been in the open division. That happens all the time in bodybuilding because guys would rather win a title than come 3rd in the opens.
Vince G, CSN. MFT. 2nd Novices Mountaineer 2006 Looks impressive.
