My journey to becoming an Apex Warrior

My journey to becoming an Apex Warrior
This time a year ago little did I know, my journey to joining Apex would start. I was trail running with my friend Ashley Hayes when a coach from Apex named Chantal Boivin started joining us. We put a lot of miles on that winter and often Chantal would mention Apex and it’s owner, a fellow runner Dennis Legault. She’s would say, you need to meet this guy, you guys need to run together.


A few months went by before I ran with Dennis for the first time.
Apex put on a series of trail race events and I would volunteer. I fell in love with running and even more with the race day energy. The first and second race being virtual didn’t stop the feeling. Being part of something like this was pretty special and I craved more.
The final race of the season was going live and Apex would ask me to be part of the race committee. I blindly said yes, I was clueless on what had to be done, I was afraid to mess something up but most of all I was excited to feel those race day vibes again. While all this was going on, I had also signed up for my first triathlon. I didn’t know how to swim any kind of distance and there were 3 weeks left till conquer the crater. Lone be hold Dennis was in the exact same boat, he had joined without knowing how to swim either. We would spend the next 3 weeks training together. During those 3 weeks I’d meet some of the Apex members.


I saw a guy (Richard Bradley) riding 350km on his bike for charity and a guy (Matthieu Bonin) swim across lake after lake. Later that year Matt would swim the length of lake wanapitei for charity.


I watched Dennis sign up for a 85km trail race, the longest race of his life. He would eventually come in second place. I watched a guy (William Aiello) paddle around Ramsey lake for 24hours for charity. Theses were things I got to see unfold with my own eyes while my ears heard countless more feel good stories. All theses stories had one thing in common, they were Apex members. I joined that week, best decision of my life. Every aspect of my life improved. I was in a better mental state, my running improved, my social skills improved, I was stronger, faster and over all a better human.


There’s a reason a massive company like Lulu Lemon would chose Dennis to represent them as one of their ambassadors. He’s a selfless leader with a heart of gold. He has a team of like minded coaches who care about improving every members lives. Apex changes lives for the better, every single time!


Starting next week you can join Apex run club every Thursday night at 6pm. Come see what the buzz is all about. Come be part of something amazing.

Track North and Laurentian XC News

 


Friday Jan 21, 2022

Hello LU XC/Track Alumni, Parents and Supporters.


Just received notice from our Athletic Director that we are approved to return to training at the Indoor Track and Performance Room on Monday, January 31st.
Prior to returning to training, all team members (athletes, trainers, coaches) must complete one rapid test. More info to come on this. Anyone with a positive test or anyone with COVID symptoms must isolate for 5 days.
The first weekend we are allowed to compete will be Feb 11-13.
It is likely the OUA and U Sports Championships will be pushed to the mid/end of March.
I have a meeting with OUA coaches on Friday, Jan 28th to discuss actual meet dates.
My hope is that we can attend 3 meets prior to the OUA Championships. So, once I have meet dates and plans, I will share ASAP.
Here we go! Again!
