All this sounds so cliche and i hate it but it's true...if you only learn one thing, (and it sounds like you learned more than one) you are that much more ahead of the game for next time...
I have the utmost respect for you and anyone who steps on stage because i know it is one of the hardest...mentally and physically demanding things you will ever have to do (voluntarily anyway) so try and be proud of what you accomplished
Very few people have the balls and dedication to do it...so many people say they are going to, and never do...or they diet for a week and say "well, my job takes up too much time" or "i need to get a little bigger" year after year...they just don't have what it takes and you do
Enjoy your food
What happens here, stays here
