A job well done!

What a incredible display of athleticism from our athletes! The final wod called the "Canadian Crippler" lived up to its name. Many competitors were completely destroyed by the workout-but not our crew.

Pam was on fire and set the bar high for ladies. She had the best time early and in fact finished before many of the men! The entire building was a buzz after her performance. Pam finished 14th on that wod which moved her up to 21st overall! There were 47 women competing. Great job Pam!

Kaine battled through back spasms and would not surrender to the "Crippler". He finished with an impressive 32nd finish overall with over 60 men competing!

Nolan was the man of the hour. It did not matter that no one knew how to pronounce "Osadczuk" because after placing 16th in wod #1, 9th in wod #2, 24th in wod #3 and 17th in the "Crippler" Nolan earned 15th spot overall and is heading to Regionals - on step closer to the 2010 CrossFit Games! The Regionals will take place the end of May in Calgary! Nicely done Nolan!

Oh yeah... now that was a workout

Nolan, showing us how it is done!

the time has come, the time is now...

Tomorrow 3 of our members are making the trek to Edmonton - their first stop on their journey to Aromas - the home of the 2010 CrossFit Games!

Pam, Kaine, & Nolan are competing in the Central Canada Sectionals fighting for one of 15 spots (15 men 15 women) to advance to the Regionals held in May.

These 3 amazing athletes have trained hard, prepared well and are ready to slay!!

Tom and I are travelling with and will keep everyone posted. For sure there will be blood, sweat and tears, and some great stories to share will all on Monday.

Good luck PAM, KAINE, and NOLAN!
