Canada West Regionals...3-2-1-GO!!

Well, after months of prep work, Regionals are finally here!  It has been a very rewarding experience both as an athlete and a coach.  As a coach, coming into the gym everyday and seeing each of you push hard past your limits always inspires me to push harder in my workouts.  Watching you push through adversity makes me want to be better.  Each of you are on the 306 team and play an important role, even though you may not realize it.  Sure, there are 6 athletes that will throw down on the weekend, but each of you have been training partners, friends and cheerleaders.  We are honoured to represent 306 in Vancouver this weekend and will give everything that we have knowing that you are all rooting for us.

We are very lucky to have some amazing resources in our gym as well.  I would like to take a moment and give a big thank you to Marc Morris, our power lifting coach for putting together our programing leading up tho this weekend.  We appreciate your expertise and experience in helping us along the way.  Aaron Johnson has been a lifesaver for us for sure.  Aaron is a 'miracle worker' when it comes to myofascial therapies and has volunteered his services to the regional athletes during training and he will be with us in Vancouver to make sure we stay limber and injury free.   We also have Sam Mitchell who is on the team but also a nutritionist and 'food guru'.  She has been very helpful to ensure that the athletes are fueling correctly and eating to perform.  Jason has also taken a lot of extra time to do individualized programing for our athletes to ensure that we can hammer out our weaknesses and go into the weekend feeling ready to go.  THANK YOU ALL!!!

"Victory Loves Preparation"...and I can honestly say that we have done all we can to prepare for this amazing opportunity.  No matter the outcome, we have done all we can to put forward the best version of ourselves next weekend.  You can follow the action at games.crossfit.com.  Aaron Parker will be competing as an individual and the rest of us on the team.   

So, now for logistics...as our coaches are competing this weekend, there will be NO CLASSES on Saturday or Sunday.   Normal schedule resumes on Monday morning.  I might be a little sore and groggy, but I will be here;).
