“The Purple Problem Solver”

December 31, 2015 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2015: Day 16 and the FINAL day of our 12 DOD! This one is a bit unusual, so please bear with me. As good as 2015 was (and it was a great year), it also seemed to be a year of complex problems. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that complex problems require … [Read more…]

“Form Twister”

December 30, 2015 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2015: Day 15 As many of you know, I’ve suffered from back pain for years, starting from when our relatively new bed started sagging in the middle <insert joke here>. The back pain has only gotten worse as my cycling has increased. I’ve seen many medical professionals without much success, but I keep trying because … [Read more…]

“One Team One Dream”

December 28, 2015 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2015: Day 14 “One Team One Dream” in honour of my tribe at Annex Consulting Group. I can’t say there’s any one particular story that stands out this past year but what I’ll remember most about 2015 was the amount of change and the major accomplishments delivered by this strong team. None of it was … [Read more…]

“Slower Than Expected”

December 27, 2015 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2015: Day 13 Today I pay tribute to the members of my excellent relay team at Challenge Penticton – Joanne and Pam. We came up with the name “Slower Than Expected” mainly because Joanne and I were in ‘off years’ in training and honestly didn’t know what to expect come race day. Admittedly, I felt bad … [Read more…]

“Chopped Liver (not)”

December 23, 2015 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2015: Day 12 After nearly half a century I’m getting pretty darn good at putting my foot in my mouth. Without getting into details, let’s just say I’ve been trying to get back in Tiffany’s good books after carelessly neglecting to acknowledge her in a comment back in July. She was quite correct to shoot back … [Read more…]

“The Frosty Glacier”

December 20, 2015 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2015: Day 11 Usually we pick the event or memory, and then craft a drink around it, but not this one. My cousin Andrea suggested I make this drink for the 12DOD and I immediately thought it reminded me of my trip to Alaska in May. And of course you don’t say no to a pregnant lady … [Read more…]

“The Phelps”

December 17, 2015 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2015: Day 10 They say it takes a village to raise a child. I believe that. In fact, I believe it takes a village of learning to aspire to new levels and to continue growing whether it be athletics or personal development. When I look back at the past year, I have nothing but smiles … [Read more…]

“Epic Rain”

December 16, 2015 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2015: Day 9 Day 9 of the 12DOD remembers some of the epic rides we had this year. Not epic because we had a great ride though. Epic because of the rain!!! We had one of our first training rides this year in Whistler in mid-May. I was super excited because this was the first … [Read more…]

“The Broken Contract”

December 14, 2015 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2015: Day 8 Today we tell a tale of controversy and look for answers to the question “what constitutes a binding agreement?” Canadian Law states “An oral or written agreement between two or more parties which is enforceable by law. In order to be valid, a contract requires an offer, an acceptance of that offer … [Read more…]

“Le Garage/The Uterus Buster”

December 12, 2015 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2015: Day 7 For at least the last couple of years (that we know about), Tammi has graciously opened up her garage on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings for her tri club friends to spin in the winter. Although after today’s spin, we considered naming the drink “The Uterus Buster”… things that happen when Joel leads the set… Some … [Read more…]
