  1. Hi Everyone,
    I will be putting an order sheet on the whiteboard for sausage orders.

    This is a fund raiser for my son Nick’s PeeWee AA Hockey team. Sausages are hand made by Old Fashion Meat Market on Mountain Road. If you have any questions please email me [email protected].

  9. In Survivor+Crossfit News:

    Crossfitter Carter Williams and his tribe made it to merge, which means all participants now compete individually. First individual challenge was holding on to a rotating bar. The bar had a rope, held by a peg, wrapped around 2-3 times and tied to a bucket holding 25% (i think) of a competitor’s bodyweight. If you let your grip on the bar go, the rope unwinds, moves off the peg, the bucket crashes down.

    Carter held on for 25 minutes and won the challenge. We can see how a workout like today’s (T2B + HPC) totally transfers to a task like the one the Survivor contestants did this week. I for one am quite interested in seeing how his Crossfit training will carry him through the game.

    1. I think Kevin should introduce puzzles in the WODs so we can be ready for anything survivor might throw at us!

    2. hahaha, yeah as soon as I saw the challenge I knew Carter would win it :P.
      If you watch the amazing race there’s a team of crossfitters in there as well

      1. Cool! Although I don’t watch the show, I’ve always wanted to do the Amazing Race with Patrick!

      2. The Amazing Race is something Jeff and I would LOVE to do also! Haven’t watched that show in a while. I think I might tune in on Sunday and try to get “caught up”.

  10. QOD – I know there will be some virtual moans, but the most influential person in my life is my hubby, Dave. There are millions of reasons why, but I will list just a few. I am a stronger, more confident woman since meeting him. I take more risks and have found a great sense of adventure. And, in all honesty he is one of the smartest, well spoken person I have ever met. Also, his constant push for his dream is inspiring.

    1. awww. I undecided if this makes him the perfect husband or you the perfect wife…maybe a bit of both.

    2. No virtual moans here. Love reading things like this. Sounds like he has brought out the best in you. And I’m sure he would say the same about you ๐Ÿ˜‰

    QOD โ€“ my Mom.โ€ฆshe raised 3 kids under 5 while putting herself through nursing school and working a part time job. I doubt it got any easier once she finished school.โ€ฆ.lol. She’s my Hero.

  12. I’m going to say my mom has been the most influential.
    Osteopenia? Not going to keep her from working out.
    Crohn’s disease? Screw off. You ain’t stopping her.
    Arthritis? Get the hell outta here. She can still squat!

    Nothing holds her back and that’s awesome to see, especially when most people would have given up. Thanks for being an inspiration!

  13. Basically my mom raised me and inscribed the family values that I hold true to today. For a few years she battled cancer and sadly lost her battle almost 2 yrs ago. She probably had the most influence on me throughout my life.

    Great class Lora!

    1. QOD : My older cousin who is more like a big brother to me since I don’t have any siblings. I grew up looking up to him and knowing that he would always have my back. He’s a truly inspirational middle school teacher (don’t know how he does it!!), a great dad and just a great guy all around. Now i’m looking forward to being a godmother to his youngest son… he’s pretty awesome too! ๐Ÿ™‚

  25. QOD: I would have to say my mom as well :). She is the most caring, loving and giving person I know and made me who I am today. She is always there for me. I’m gonna stop now before it gets overly cheesy lol ๐Ÿ˜›

  26. QOD:
    My Mom. She showed me what it meant to work hard and keep a positive attitude when facing adversity. She lost her battle with cancer last January, but her determination over the years continues to inspire me every day.

  27. QOD –
    My person is Kevin. He has flipped my life upside down, twisted it backwards, shaken it up and gently put me back down since we met. I mean all of that in the best way possible. I would not be the person I am today without him. I’ll spare you the sappy love story details ๐Ÿ™‚ just know that I think he’s the cats pyjamas.

  28. Valรฉrie Arseneau

    QOD : my dad. I’m a true daddy’s girl! He’s always there for me! He saw almost every single ringette game I’ve played. Was at the rink with me at 6AM on Saturday when I figure skated. He just never stops giving. Does a lot of volunteer work and even did a peace mission with the UN last year. He’s always the first I call when I need advice on anything. ๐Ÿ™‚

  29. Chantal Guerette

    QOD :My parentsโ€ฆ My mom is probably the most giving person I know. She always put my sister and I before her own self and she would do anything for the ones she loves. My dad is the quiet type. He was and still is such a great model for me and I donโ€™t even think he knows how much I look up to him. Heโ€™s hard working, perfectionist, wise and he always give good advice. My mom is the person I can tell anything, sheโ€™s my best friend. My dad is the person I learn from every day. ๐Ÿ™‚ I have the most amazing parents ๐Ÿ™‚
