NAME: Rachel Cammon AGE: 26 HEIGHT: 5'10" CONTEST WEIGHT:138 pounds DIVISION: Figure, Class F NATIONAL-LEVEL EXPERIENCE: None PROFESSION: Pharmaceutical Sales Rep  BEFORE: In high school I was soccer player and a skier always had those skier thighs, big legs on me. In college is when I started lifting more. I was born and raised in Denver so I've been skiing since I could walk. I used to compete in moguls in a bunch of contest growing up. I've still got healthy knees, surprisingly. GETTING STARTED:It was just me. I figured spent so much time in the gym why not push as little bit further and see what could do I got bored. There wasn't wasn't anything working towards in the gym. And I work better when I have a goal. My first contrest was in April of this year. I just started this. I didn't know I was ever going to compete, I just wanted to look good and feel good. SURPRISES: My cheeks shake when I smile. I haven't felt that since senior pictures. I haven't hade to put on the cheesy smile in a long time. I know it sounds stupid, but it's the most difficult part for me. I wonder if the audience can see my cheeks actually shaking ... that's whats going in my mind. USA GOALS: I have no idea what to expect, I'm just kind of picking the brain of everybody who has done a national show. I just want to do well. What's doing well in my eyes? I'm not going to say placing in the top five because I'm a newby at this, but I'm a compettive gal that's for sure. So I'd like to be top 10 at least. So I'm going out there with my little brother so I'll have one quality bonding time with him. And then after the show eat my bodyweight in pancakes.
