SHE DID IT!!! 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️🔥

Sam is officially an OLYMPIC-DISTANCE TRIATHLETE! ❤️

🏊‍♀️ 1.5 KM OPEN-WATER SWIM
🚴‍♀️ 40 KM BIKE
🏃‍♀️ 10 KM RUN
⏱️ FINISH TIME: 3:16:44
📍Valleyfield Triathlon

And just like that… all those hours of training, commitment, discipline and pushing outside her comfort zone became one unforgettable finish line. 🥹❤️

Sam, you trusted me to help guide you through this journey, and that is something I will always be grateful for.

But when race day came…

YOU did the swimming.
YOU did the riding.
YOU did the running.
YOU fought through the hard moments.
And YOU crossed that finish line. 🔥

3 hours, 16 minutes and 44 seconds of proving to yourself just how strong and capable you really are.

Watching an athlete set a goal, put in the work and then accomplish something they once weren’t sure they could do…

THAT is one of the greatest gifts of being a coach. ❤️

Congratulations, Sam.

YOU DID IT.
YOU EARNED IT.
AND I COULDN’T BE PROUDER. 🥹❤️

First Olympic triathlon ✔️
And something tells me… it won’t be the last. 😉🔥

Thank you to the best cheerleaders that came out to cheer you.
That’s community 📣♥️✨🫶🏻

❤️🖤

✨ CFDLC EN ACTION ✨

Quand le travail, la constance et la détermination parlent d’eux-mêmes… 💪🏼🔥

Notre Caroline, fidèle membre du 6 AM, continue de nous montrer ce que signifie se dépasser et relever de nouveaux défis.

Cette fois-ci : 10 km 🏃🏼‍♀️
Une superbe performance en 49:57 qui lui vaut une impressionnante 3e place dans sa catégorie F40-49 sur 65 participantes 🥉👏🏼

Mais au-delà du chrono et du classement, ce qu’on aime encore plus, c’est de voir tout ce que les heures d’entraînement, la discipline et la constance permettent d’accomplir à l’extérieur des murs du gym.

Caroline, tu brilles parce que tu travailles.
Tu progresses parce que tu oses te challenger.
Et tu nous rappelles que notre entraînement ne s’arrête pas au gym… il nous prépare à vivre, à performer et à repousser nos propres limites. ❤️

Fière de te voir représenter l’esprit CFDLC partout où tes défis t’amènent.

🥉 3e F40-49
⏱️ 49:57

Bravo Caroline! Continue de briller et surtout… continue de te surprendre. ✨

🔥 TURN UP THE HEAT! 🔥

What an amazing day at CrossFit Max for the Turn Up the Heat event! 💪🔥

A full day of fitness, personal records, challenges, laughs, and so much FUN — exactly what this sport and community are all about. ❤️

And to top it all off… one of our teams finished in 3rd place! 🥉 A beautiful surprise and the perfect ending to an already incredible day. We are so proud of everyone who stepped onto that competition floor, pushed their limits, supported one another, and represented our community with heart and determination.

A huge THANK YOU to CrossFit Max for hosting such a great event, and an extra special thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time and energy to make the day possible. Events like this simply couldn’t happen without you. 🙏

We came. We competed. We PR’d. We laughed. We had FUN.
And we’re going home with some great memories… and a podium finish! 🥉🔥

Congratulations to all our athletes!
Proud is an understatement ❤️💪

PersonalRecords StrongerTogether

Some victories are measured by the finish line. Others are measured by the courage it takes just to stand at the start. ❤️

Today, we want to recognize one of our incredible coaches, Alicia,for accomplishing something truly inspiring.

Less than a year after giving birth to her second daughter, she set a goal that seemed almost impossible. With sleepless nights, a newborn in her arms, learning to ride a road bike only weeks before race day, overcoming a crash and a shoulder injury… she never gave up.

She chose to believe in herself.

She chose to keep showing up.

She chose to lead by example.

As coaches, we often remind others that growth happens outside our comfort zone. This time, Lee lived every word she teaches.

What makes this achievement even more special isn’t just that she completed a duathlon—it’s the message she leaves for every person watching:

✨ Your circumstances do not define your potential.
✨ Your children are always watching.
✨ Your goals matter.
✨ You are capable of doing hard things.

At CrossFit de la Cité, we’re incredibly proud to have coaches who don’t just tell our members what’s possible—they show them.

Thank you, Alicia,for reminding our entire community that strength isn’t only found in the gym. It’s found in resilience, consistency, courage, and the willingness to chase your dreams, no matter what season of life you’re in.

You are fierce.
You are inspiring.
And your CFDLC family couldn’t be prouder. ❤️

👏 Congratulations, Coach Alicia. Your daughters already have the best role model they could ask for.
