οικογένειά μου
Greek translation - "My Family":
a great night with great people - i am continually impressed by those who surround me and how fortunate i am to have those in my presence - i am truly blessed.

In Season:
In hopes of trying to answer some questions; I'll do my best at preparing everyone who is interested in the March online sectionals as best I can.

For those who are not interested in competing I will provide an OPT competition style workout - 1 per Saturday once the sectionals begin and ending once they end. A balanced assessment of our philosophy of fitness.

The training throughout this time for everyone will be Tues-Thurs training, Saturday testing and Sunday recovery and training to make it feel like an in season for those participating in the sectionals and those who want to participate in our in season as well.

Let the fun begin!

Shout out:
- Shane Savard - scoring guy
- Trevor Salmon - behind the scenes bald guy who does everything for me and more
- Steve Saville - cheered on Michael on Sunday and put away his weights
- Geoff Aucoin - for being funny and giving him his 5 minutes he's been missing
- Brittany Wickham - for being the only person cheering DJ on during Sunday's workouts - and for some sweet pics upcoming
- CJ Martin - awesome programming - 12 minutes would actually have been better for me in the last one; trust that initial gut instinct!

NL
3 events on Sunday - all can be done within 90 minute time frame.

Questions:
1. How do you test to find the fittest person?
2. What characteristics define the fittest?
3. Where do your biases come from in determining who is and how to become the fittest?
4. Are you open to different definitions / different perspectives on achieving this "fit" standard?
