And the winner is...



Ajay Kohli Proves He Can DO MORE!

October 20th, 2010, TORONTO, ON: For the last seven months 7SYSTEMS has been hosting the DO MORE Challenge: a test to see if proper micro and macro nutrition can improve training and recovery. Of the last of three finalists, Ajay Kohli, raced earlier this month and his incredible result earned him the title of the 2010 7SYSTEMS DO MORE Challenge winner.

Kohli competed in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC 5km Run for the Cure and finished in a time of 21:19. He not only exceeded the 7SYSTEMS DO MORE Challenge goal of a 7% improvement, but also shattered his personal goal of a 14% improvement. Kohli’s time this year improved upon his previous race time by 27%. This put Ajay ahead of the two other
finalists, who improved 9% and 5% respectively.

“Over the past year and a half I have shed over 75 lbs, made healthier lifestyle and dietary choices, and now I have improved my 5km race time by 27%,” said Kohli. “With the support of 7SYSTEMS and my coach JJ Neely, I have noticed that my training is more stable and that I’m stronger, leaner and faster!”

Kohli’s improvement is truly a remarkable story. Several years ago he made a pledge to become fit and healthy. He quit smoking, stopped drinking and started to watch what he ate and how he exercised. The 2009 Run for the Cure was one of his first attempts to test how his new lifestyle regime was working and he ran it in a time of 29:03.

Kohli was voted to be a DO MORE Challenge finalist along with two others, by hundreds of visitors to www.7SYSTEMS.ca. The three finalists all used 7SYSTEMS Endurance Sport Supplement for three months prior to their races and provided monthly updates at www.7SYSTEMS.ca about their training and progress. All three finalists saw significant improvements in their training and race day performance. Andrina Kelly improved 9% at the Multisport Canada’s Toronto Island Try-a-Tri and Luke Ehgoetz finished the Muskoka Half IronMan with a new personal best and a 5% improvement.

“Congratulations to Ajay and the lifestyle transformation he has made,” said Canadian Ironman champion and one of the founders of 7SYSTEMS Jasper Blake. “Our DO MORE Challenge was the perfect way to demonstrate how hard work, proper nutrition and the addition of micro-nutrient supplementation can help anyone, Olympian or weekend warrior, do more on race day and every day!”

Kohli will be receiving the DO MORE Challenge Grand Prize: six month personalized training program, a Nineteen Frequency wetsuit (retail value=$650), Running Free gift certificate, Ryder sunglasses, Signed print of Simon Whitfield’s photo finish at Des Moines 2009, and $100 coupon for INFINIT Nutrition.

The makers of 7SYSTEMS Endurance Sport Supplement believe that people who demand more from their body should demand more from their supplements. 7SYSTEMS Endurance Sport Supplement contains over 65 key ingredients. Tested by high performance athletes, including Olympic medalists and World Champions, 7SYSTEMS Endurance Sport Supplement
is being credited by many athletes as a factor in their success.

Volunteers Needed

A celebration of women in sport... with the beginner at heart
www.womenstriathlon.com

Volunteers are needed for the 13th Milton Women’s Triathlon on Sunday, Sept. 5, 2010.

Volunteers are the heart of every Non-Profit organization. In the past we, at OWTS, have been thankful for the dedication of our Volunteer community. Milton Marlins Swim Team, Milton Triathletes, Milton Masters Aquatic Club and many individuals have dedicated both a Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning to this event. Not only because that is the kind of community we have, but also because each person is touched by the enthusiasm, joy and pride that each of our grass roots athletes experience while participating. It is truly an inspiring experience to see these women, many of them first time athletes, complete a goal that, prior to summer 2010, they thought was beyond their reach. Many of our past participants have continued on to become Pro-Triathletes and still come back to enjoy the experience year after year. Lesley Grice - Pro Triathlete, new mom will return to the event that was her first triathlon.

If you want to be a part of this experience please contact me ASAP. You can be sure that WE NEED YOU.
Anna Morris - 905-691-5338 - abmorris@cogeco.ca or contact the OWTS website www.womenstriathlon.com

All proceeds from this event go to Girls Inc of North Halton, and a donation is made to the Milton Marlins Swim Team.
If you have a group of (15) or more adult volunteers that can dedicate themselves to a Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, let me know. Donations to Athletic or Charity groups for dedicated, hard working volunteers are possible, contact me and we’ll talk!

Details:
Saturday, Sept 4, 2010:
Event Set up - time TBA, most likely 5pm - 7pm
Sunday, Sept 6, 2010:
Park entry at 6:30am, entry after 6:30am may require a Park Entry Fee that we will be unable to refund

What are you reading?


A few months back our teacher-librarian thought it would be a great idea if we created photo posters that showed us reading so that we may inspire our students to read. So we each chose a book and then some of us dressed the part too. My book called Duck on a Bike, by David Shannon, it is one of my favorite read alouds that can be used at different grade levels. It is a story about a duck who sees a bike and decides to ride it through the farm. When the other animals see him they all have opinions of Duck riding the bike. But later, when more bikes become available, all the animals true feelings come out and they all decide to ride. Of course they have a blast, which reminds me of riding with my buddies. The illustrations are priceless and great to look at as the story is told. If you have young kids I highly recommend this book to share with them.
