Speaking of last years Challenge, we received many compliments.  Here is how one group felt:

“I just wanted to send you a big shout out for all of your hard work with the Saskatchewan CrossFit Challenge. Our CrossFit folks had a great time and they came back invigorated by their experiences. I also would like to compliment you on making the beginners feel so welcome. It was so great to see the three different divisions.  Bravo to you!”.

    I want to go but it would be helpful if I could split a hotel room with some other ladies…anyone interested? I have to work until 5:30 so I would need to fly out Friday night and then this turns out to be a pricey little trip :( Damn work getting in the way :P

    @Kimberly
    I would definitely be interested in splitting a hotel with you if you end up going! :) Not sure how I am going to get there yet-is anyone planning on driving?

    I decided today that I am heavily considering this trip. I think it will be a fun time and a good chance to get to know more CFW athletes, other than the 9am crew :)

    @Kristin
    Not sure who you have going with you right now but if you have room would you be able to squeeze me in(I promise that I am fun on road trips!)? It would be awesome to split the cost of gas a few ways! :)

    What time do you think you would be leaving on the Friday?

  • Kimberly

    K, I would need to fly out Friday night, but would love to drive home with someone. I think paying for gas both ways (to “reserve” my seat home) would still be cheaper than flying.

    I’ve been on the fence about going but for all the wrong reasons…so, so what if I don’t do as well as last time, as long as I train hard and leave it all out there, I can live with that, the experience is amazing :)

    @Nicole B
    Your in……I’ll leave Friday at a time that works best for all those in my van (those lucky few have yet to be determined) I was thinking of leaving around 12, but am open to suggestions. And Kim im sure you can squeeze in on the way back

  • Kimberly

    @Kristin Perfect!

    For anyone flying there is a seat sale until Aug 19th (Westjet), one-way tax-in $178. I would need the flight that lands at 11 though…which doesn’t leave much time for sleep, boo!

    I just booked my flight!!! AirCanada is 173$ (taxes in) direct to Saskatoon, leaves at 8:35, arrives at 8:56. I checked my friends and family hotel rate and it’s a no-go for Saskatoon (but it worked in Japan??). Has anyone done any research yet?

    And now I’m officially registered too, Div 2 :)

    We need a head count for hotels and transport…how about a meeting Saturday after the WOD?

  • Kristin
    August 17, 2010 at 11:41 am

    im in, just lemme know when

  • Nicole B
    August 17, 2010 at 1:54 pm

    I am def. in for meeting as well-sounds like a great idea so we can figure things out! Preferably earlier rather than later though as I am heading out to Gimli…

  • Kimberly
    August 19, 2010 at 12:34 pm

    I’m planning on doing the WOD at 8 so meet at 9-9:30ish?

    It looks like I’ll have to sit this challenge out (95% sure) I’ve emailed CFS to see if I can transfer my registration to another CFW athlete, so if you haven’t registered yet maybe wait a day or two until I hear back from them. I’ll also have a cheap flight that I could transfer to someone interested in flying (but I also know I’ll make use of AirCanada credit no problemo). I’ll post more when I know more.
