Thermopylae - June 3

A small event that I run called the "Thermopylae", after the location where the Spartan and Persian armies met and was made famous in the movie "The 300", happened last week.

The event hosted over 500 athletes while over 100 parents, teachers, coaches and spectators looked on.  The event combined the best of Cross Country, Obstacle Racing and Fitness Conditioning.  The entire course stretched for 3.8km with a total of 20 obstacles and 3 mud pits.  8 schools were in attendance bringing athletes from across the city with a range of skills and abilities.
The purpose of the event was to give students another athletic venue to participate in but also add in an element where every individual is an athlete and welcome to participate.  Teams competed against each other but also embraced the fun nature of the race and soaked up the sun.
I was lucky to have the backing of an amazing group of sponsors (future post), an incredibly supportive school and community, and the very best student volunteers without which the event would never have happened.
Along with this event, my goal is to launch a series of fitness programming and lessons that cater to the school environment and embraces non traditional modalities for lifelong health and wellness.  This applies to all age groups.  Bootcamps, garage workouts, competition prep, sport performance, etc will all be a part of this new programming.

Training Resource - Tracy from Infinity 5 Fitness

I am a police officer and a mother of a 2. I also just completed my personal trainer diploma through NAIT and I am now a CSEP-CPT, EIMC Level 1, NASM-CES.

I just competed in my first 2 fitness competitions the first being on May 18 with the NPAA fitness model category and UFE bikini and fitness model categories.

Fitness has always been a part of my life since I turned 18 and joined the gym.  I was amazed with my results and now I am striving to take my fitness to even bigger and better places.

I plan to compete again in the fall/spring coming in with a veteran’s mindset. I also want to focus on training others, work on my fitness company, work at a local gym building up clientele, and develop an online training venture as well.
