And there it is…our 5th Gala in the books. This year, we tried something a little different. We went with a murder mystery and have everyone come in a character. It was so much fun to see everyone mix and mingle and put their own twist on their character. I was so impressed on the effort everyone put into the event.
Ok everyone, the gala is fast approaching - tomorrow night! Here's what you need to know:
1. Cocktails are at 6:00PM
2. Dinner at 7:00PM
3. You should have your character, props, etc.
4. I will brief everyone on the full story and what to do once everyone has arrived.
5. Everything is happening at the Saskatoon Club
6. The game will take between 2-3 hours to play
7. We will have a DJ for after dinner and the mystery has been solved...
Let’s rewind 18 years to when I was 10 years old and diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I was seeing a specialist as I was a very young case to have this disease. I was a 10 year old stuck in a 6 year olds frame, therefore I was the ‘chubby’ kid. I never excelled in sports, music was main my passion. I always used hypothyroidism as my excuse, however my co-worker just the other day commented on how I likely used that for so long to cover up the real problem – I was just plain lazy...
The day started out with a brisk wind and light drizzle but none of the athletes would let the elements stand in their way as they would race the opening mile followed by sixteen thrusters in record pace.
After the opening WOD, Podium or Bust the early favourites had taken control with a first place victory in the scaled division. Team Reebok...
3 on 3 Predictions!
With one week before the fourth annual 3 on 3 Throw down it is time to ponder what may happen next Saturday. With three division, four preliminary WODs, a do or die semi-finals and an elimination quarter finals. Anything may and probably will happen. So let’s take a look at each division and try and speculate on the final standings.
Scaled –
This division includes a wide range of demographics including team Gordon boasting Chris and Bruce in their 50’s and a group of teenagers lead by 14 year old Tori MacDonald and anchored by Jack Nash and Craig Kosmoka. Will youth prevail over experience? Team Podium or Bust lead by rec star athlete Josh Herman, and teammates Brandy Sokoloski, and Julius Villeneuva are looking poised and confident. However late replacement to team Rowing Pains include Super Alpha Male Stu Cousins might be what that team needed to put in them in striking distance of the podium.
Coach’s Predictions –
1. Podium or Bust – 306/Brio
2. Bodies by Bacon – CFR
3. Sunshine and Lollipops – Gas City...
Reebok 306 3 on 3 Throwdown
