I need to get better at doubles for the Mayhem. I kept a few things on top of mind. Keep body straight, relax shoulders, quick wrists, and the second you lose sight of your hands in front of you, bring your arms in! Seemed to help.
QOD: Nobody famous per se, but I think it’s cool that I talked to Joe Nieuwendyk’s dad when I was doing internet support for Sympatico. 🙂
Other than that… I consider the elite CrossFitters somewhat famous, and I had a few bunch of them teaching me at my L1 cert in Toronto – Austin Malleolo being my fav. 🙂
I used to do tech support for Sympatico too!!! I once talked to James Bond, but I don’t think it was the guy from the movies.

I ran into Kiefer Sutherland after watching him in “The Glass Menagerie” in TO when I was in high school. Like, right into him. I collided with him coming around a corner because I wasn’t looking where I was going. Then I felt so stupid that I ran in the other direction.

QOD: Stuart McLean. I was working at a tourist office in the little town of Brighton, Ontario and was just about to close for the day. Stuart and his assisstant had been boating down from Kingston and stopped by for some directions and ideas about what they could see/do in the next few small towns over. I didn’t even recognize him at first and when we introduced ourselves I think he was surprised that I didn’t have a reaction. Afterwards, when I put two-and-two together I felt like a complete idiot. NIce guy though and he sounds the same in real life as he does on the radio.
QOD: When I worked at Fairmont reservations, Molly Shannon (Saturday Night Live- Mary Katherine Gallagher!) called to book a room for herself at the Plaza in NY. That was pretty cool. And I did get to meet Camille LeBlanc-Bazinet at my cert, that was awesome!

QOD: Most famous person(s) i met were Zakk Wylde & Ozzy Osbourne. That moment will go down in history for me. Met them @ my hotel before the concert, got autographs and Zakk spent 20 mins just talking with us.
The most famous person I’ve ever met was probably either Adam West, who played Batman and voices someone on Family Guy(the mayor maybe?) or Peter Mansbridge, the former news anchor for CTV National news.
I have a friend who’s quasi famous though, Stuart Reardon, he’s a professional rugby player in the UK and a fitness model
QOD – The first famous person I ever met was a professional wrestler named Lex Luger in the summer of 93. I met some UFC fighters during the fan expo and the 2 that I remember the most were Dan Hardy and Joe Lauzon cause they were super friendly. And, similar to Heather and running into Keifer Sutherland, I ran into Shane Carwin at the same expo and fell flat on my ass. I turned around from buying a shirt and he was right there, I fell and he didn’t move…..
Joe Lauzon? Now I’m jealous 😛 I love UFC!! I like the heavy hitters but one of my favourite fights of all time was two lightweights. Clay Guida vs Roger Huerta. Really great fight!

Then, I did the wod. And I decided to try triple unders. They were uuuuugly but whatever. Got them done.
So, I did it RX, and got 2 rounds + 8 kbs. I new I’d get a low score but I wanted to try the triples. And I knew I’d still be really gassed – was I ever. Good workout. I had a hard time getting up off the floor after. 🙂
