Cayman figure competitor Joe Anne goes pro
Joe Anne Cowin continued her fantastic season recently when she took home two trophies in the WNBF/INBF amateur figure competition in Manhattan, New York City.
Competing against 30 other women from around the world, she earned the right to compete as a professional in future events after she won her 'tall' class which enabled her to go head to head with her counterpart in the short category for the overall title. Having wowed the judges the now she picked up the amateur winner's trophy and is now able to compete for the considerable prize money that will be available in future events, including next June's Mr/Mrs Universe in Barbados.
Originally from the Isle of Man, Joe Anne is now a Cayman resident. As part of her routine Joanne trains for up to four hours a day, beginning with an early morning cardio session at 4.30am. From there it's off to the day job as a hairdresser before heading back to the gym for another two hours after work. She does this six days a week with a break on Saturdays with no signs of slowing down: 'As I'm now professional I really have to step it up as the pro division is so much tougher. I generally eat very healthily but I do have a sweet tooth which does have to be indulged sometimes!' 'The build-up to a competition can be very demanding trying to juggle work with the gym and my personal life as I have to cut myself off to a lot of things like alcohol and partying. My friends understand but three months of doing this can be a very long time.'
For the time being Joanne is still taking time to enjoy her recent success with her friends and family but with her next event awaiting her in March it won't be long before the Island athlete is back in the gym working towards her third win in 12 months.
