Last weekend I had the opportunity to head to Montreal (AKA French Canada), and train with some of Canada's strongest ladies. It was great to get to know these girls, especially since when we normally see each other we are in competition mode. These girls are all unique, wonderful, strong ladies, who are absolutely inspiring and leave me wanting to be a better person and lifter.
Wondering what French Canada is? This sums it up quite nicely.
We all met up to train Saturday afternoon at Kacey Baines gym, Epicenter, which to my pleasure, is fully equipped with EliteFTS gear! After training, we ate, then chatted on a blow up mattress sipping on cheap wine. Follow that up with eating lots of chocolate and thats a pretty perfect night!
The next day started with waffles covered in real maple syrup, then we bought out the local Lululemon store, ate more food, and called it a day. Plenty of local coffee thrown in there as well, because what is life without good coffee?
All in all, this was a great weekend with some great girls. I'm glad that my circle of powerlifting friends is slowly growing. My heart fills up a little more with every new strong(her) friend I make.
They came, they saw, they conquered the shopping & coffee scene, they lounged on blow-up mattresses, they ate poutine,...
