Annual LoLo Summer BBQ a Blast [Crossfit Victoria BC]

On July 20th, 2019 our first Annual LoLo Summer BBQ was a huge success! The BBQ was put in place to acknowledge our members for all their ongoing and constant hard work and support, it also happened to fall on owner, Adam’s birthday to which we celebrated to the fullest.

What a better way to start the celebrations than with a workout of course! Our Social Saturdays are typically a partner workout and this one was particularly fun:

For Time in Pairs:
50 DB Squats
400m recovery run
50 pull ups
400m recovery run
50 DB shoulder to overhead
400m recovery run
10 rope climbs
400m recovery run
50 DB squat cleans
400m recovery run
50 HSPU
400m recovery run

 

Check out the photos below to see just how much fun was had during the workout!

 

The BBQ itself was a big hit; with gluten-free, homemade beef patties, Red Barn bacon (a local favourite), avocado and all the usual fixings (this included a variety of local mayonnaise, and ketchup-like sauces). #supportlocal

What moved us the most was the wonderful speeches given by our members, coaches and the Birthday boy himself.  It was spontaneous moment that gave the members and coaches the opportunity to say a few words about how Adam and CrossFit LoLo had impacted their lives. Our community is definitely empowered by the “Love On Lift On” vibes.

What type of birthday would it be without cake?! An ice-cream cake to be exact from a personal favourite of ours Parachute Ice-Cream. This paired well with the home made vegan chocolates from member Yvette, Mipstick Nutrition, and some seasonal fruit and kombucha punch.

The festivities continued once the BBQ concluded with a trip to Thetis Lake followed by taking up an entire row at the theatres to see The Lion King, to which Adam wore a lion mask in the lead up.

 

Overall, this event will be a hard one to beat! Thank-you to everyone who has showed us support in the last 8 months. We love you all so much. We are looking forward to hosting more events and continuing to build our wonderful community.
