Don’t really have much to say about this.  No earth shattering epiphanies or even clever little jabs. I just thought it was a pic that didn’t need much said about it.  Its a perfect reminder on its own of just how lazy our society is.

Instant gratification?  Yes, please…and can I have it SUPERSIZED???

Huge Congrats to the seven that competed at Sectionals…you were all amazing!!  I am proud of each an every one of you for your effort, your spirit, your drive and for challenging yourself. 

I had SEVERAL people approach me this weekend and tell me how impressed they were with all of you and how well rounded you were.  I know there was moments when some of you were near to tears and I would have loved to have been able to lighten the load but you perservered when everything was saying ‘quit’.

Here are the results from our competitors:

Curt M. - 4th place

Graham H. - 16th place

Steve Z. - 25th place

Sliv - 44th place

Becky H. - 24th place

Tala L. - 33rd place

Jenny H. - 38th place

Honorable Mentions:

Curt M. - Missed 2nd place by 10 lbs on his OHS, finished 1st overall in Day 1 Workout #3

Graham H. - Finished 4th in Day 1 Workout #1, set brutal paces for later heats all weekend

Steve Z. - Finished 5th in Day 1 Workout 3 doing body weight power cleans, kept nerves down with his quiet demeanor

Sliver - First person to actually complete Day 2 workout, had everyone’s back all weekend

Becky H. - Tied for first in Day 1 workout 2 against an absolute beast, competed and did amazing in spite of everything she has gone through this past yearish…speechless.

Tala L. - finished 13th in Day 1 workout 2, solid and consistent the entire competition…thanks for the laughs too

Jenny H. - Robo-arm…hit every workout in immense pain and pushed through, solid effort, excellent form in spite of injury

Seriously proud of all of you!  And a big thanks for those of you that made the trip out to the base to cheer them on.  Believe it or not, you being there helped carry them.

To Chad and Auty:  Great Event.  I can’t say enough how well organized and timely everything went.  You put in the work and it showed.  High fives all around.  A big thanks to all the judges and volunteers as well.

And finally to all the competitors…well done.  You brought it and brought it hard.  My hat is off to each and every one of you.

After 3 months I guess its time to get back on this thing…

Can’t promise its gonna be a daily thing but I’ll definately try for a few days a week.

Just wanted to give some good lucks to a few fellow SPARKers on their way to the CrossFit Games Central Canada Sectionals.  For those of you that don’t know, this is where people can come together and strut their fitness “stuff” and compete for the Title of CrossFit Games Champion.  Its a head up challenge with several physically demanding events to see who comes out on top.  It starts with “Sectionals”, then “Regionals” and then all the way to international stage at the Games themselves.

So to Sliv, Becky, Jenny, Tala, Curt, Graham and Zwack (Steve) Good Luck and don’t leave anything on the table!  Hope I didn’t miss anyone…and if I did…why didn’t you tell any of us?!?

You know you’re leaders here at SPARK and others look up to you.  Tear it up kids…I’m there for you!

And just for a few giggles…heck I laugh my butt off everytime I see this…kind of sums things up.  From the man himself: Kenny Powers.
