A SUPER-FIT opticians boss had a "truly memorable" outing at Miss Galaxy Universe 2015.

Katie Memory, managing director of Salisbury's Memory Opticians, pulled a smart car, did copious pull-ups and sit-ups and a 200m race in Crawley.

And the 48-year-old was rewarded for her efforts with third place in the Fitness Model 36 plus category.

As well as the physical challenge, Memory competed on stage in her bikini and formal evening wear.

Judging panelists, including three-time British fitness champion Irina Cotton and former Gladiator Saracen, marked the contestants on low body fat, body tone and symmetry, stage presence and marketability in the fitness industry.

"Entering the competition was such a perfect way of continuing my weight loss journey, having lost just under three stone and maintaining it for more than two years," said Memory.

"It was a truly memorable experience."
