Sophia's Power Cookie Recipe 

By Sophia Sauter


1 & 1/2 cups spelt flour
½ tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbs flax seeds
1 & 3/4 cups rolled oat flakes (quick cooking)
1/2 cup sunflower seeds (shell-less)
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds (shell-less)
½ cup hempnut seeds (I have never put these in, but whole foods has them on the ingredient list)
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup molasses
1 Cup soymilk 
¾ cup chocolate chips (the Callebut ones from Superstore bulk are the BEST!)

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Spray 2 large cookie sheets. (This is important, they stick otherwise!)
In a large bowl, put flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well.
Add oats, raisins, and seeds.
In another bowl, mix canola oil, molasses and soy milk.  Beat until well-blended.
Add to dry mixture, and mix well. Add chocolate chips.
Make into cookies on prepared cookie sheets (wet your hands and get in there!).
Bake in preheated oven about 20 minutes (if large cookies), or until cookies are golden
on edges and tops are set. Cool on wire racks.

Xterra 2010

XTERRA 2010 - WHISTLER BC

September 5th - was the date of the return of Xterra to Canada - the off road National Championships
The event was held in Whistler with the swim start in Alta Lake, and an awesome technical mountain bike course out of Rainbow Park with a nice run to the finish at Nitka Lake Lodge.  Active Life Multisport had a team in the relay event.   Sophia Sauter started off the day with a strong swim in the chilly waters of Alta Lake, followed by Heather King who chased down some girls on the mountain bike, and Kelly Wilcox brought the team home with a quick run to the finish to take the win!

We were then treated to an awesome BBQ - likely the best post race BBQ!

Sophia and Heather were then kept busy providing physiotherapy services to the other finishers.  Kelly, kindly helped with the set up and take down of the tent.   Thank you Kelly and thanks to Laddie for being our cheering section! 

Trail Run - Wednesday, September 8 - CANCELLED

Sorry ladies - a work commitment last minute to Vancouver Island I go...most folks are likely getting ready for the Fondo anyway!  See you next week
