• Here’s a picture of the winning team – the winners of $3,000 – from last weekend’s Nutts Cup: CONTROL, ALT, DELETE!

    I guess I understimated their charisma?

    And possibly more importantly, the winner of the Andy Nutts DUDE award, which was awarded at 2:30 am, was Bradleah ‘Pinky’ Dahlman.

    I can’t say enough about this girl. Like Sheppy said, before CrossFit the only workout she had ever done was the Suzanne Somers Thigh Master. Not only is she a great athlete now – she competed at the Games in California this summer with our team – she is likely the most well-liked person at CrossFit Vancouver. It’s impossible to say a bad word about her. She arrives everyday with a smile on her face, and considering that she works with 5-year-olds as a Kindergarten teacher all day, that’s an accomplishment in itself. On top of this, she manages to keep her husband ‘The Ginger Monkey’ happy and in control most of the time. She works her ass off here, adds an upbeat, positive vibe at the box, is as loyal as a puppy, and she never misses a CrossFit Vancouver function or party. Bradleah – this place wouldn’t be CrossFit Vancouver without you.

    Also, she has one of the nicest asses around. Surrounded by some of the fittest, most ripped, sexy bodies in the world at the CrossFit Games this summer, Patty turned to Bradleah at the end of the weekend and said, “I never saw a better bum.”

Pascal’s Ride to Conquer

When I think about cycling 240 kilometers in two days, ‘therapeutic’ isn’t the descriptive word that comes to my mind.

But for CrossFit Vancouverite, Pascal ‘I don’t look a day over 16’ Gray, his recent bike ride from Surrey to Seattle had elements of unmistakable therapy.

Gray, a High School teacher, took part in the recent BC Ride to Conquer Cancer, a 240 kilometer bike ride. The main reason for the journey: A way to remember his father, who lost a battle with cancer and passed away a year and nine months ago. “The second day of the ride fell on Father’s Day, so that had a huge impact on me,” said Pascal. “It gave me a lot of time to reflect about who my Dad was, and to spend time with him in a metaphysical kind of way,” he added.

Pascal says rides like this help him in dealing with the loss. “It was amazing to be around those 2,900 riders, to be surrounded by people on the same page as me,” he said.

Another place Pascal feels at home is right here at CrossFit Vancouver. His first CrossFit experience? Last year’s Nutts Cup. He still remembers the pain. “I remember pushing to the point that I wondered if I’d get through the workout. And I thought to myself, ‘there’s nothing else that will do this to me,’” said Pascal, who was immediately hooked. “I was totally blown away by the workout and the people in the box, and it actually solidified what I already believed fitness to be.”
