Fitness
beauties like Tara Richards usually don't fit in the same category as
computer nerds, so it might come as a surprise that Richards is a mainframe
programmer.
"Yes, I am a dork," she laughs. "But I love modeling, acting,
and doing spokesmodeling work. In my free time, I update my website www.brighteyedbeauty.com,
learn magic, and volunteer as well."
Richards
started fitness because of her love of training and competition. So naturally
fitness provided for the perfect combination of the two. When it comes
to training, she likes to focus on abs and glutes, which are definitely
strong points in her physique.
Although
2002 marked her National debut, Richards had previously won the Colorado
State Tall Class Fitness Championship, and also dreams of being a professional
surfer. Kind of hard to do when you are in landlocked Colorado, but then
again, many would not have guessed her 'day' profession programming.
As
far as her future in fitness is concerned, Richards, like a true surfer
is willing to go with the flow - "wherever
it takes me - hopefully the Olympia and the cover of Oxygen!"
