Training for Gagnon is a full-time job, as he lives a ‘fitness-oriented lifestyle. But ° he says specific training for the micet includes three hours a day of sprints and 40 to 50 minutes a week of slow, long-distance running. One of the competitions at the meet is called The Toughest Cop Alive, which is an eight-event contest, in- cluding shotput, bench presses, 100 yard dash, three mile run, chin-ups, 100 yard swim, obstacle course and rope climbing. One of the conditions that. Gagnon says competitors have to prepare for is heat exhaustion. The athletes train as much as they. can_ now in the hot weather to prepare for the scorching temperatures anticipated for San Jose. Gagnon said the athletes must continually replenish their water supply, and they cannot eat five hours- before the competition. Gagnon’s goal is to form a Canadian police and firefighters team, with pro- vincial members coordi- nated, instead of the present set-up with communities ac- ting on their own behalf. With a Canadian team, Gagnon says there would be a stronger team spirit, more organized travel arrange- ments and better training fa- cilities. Eventually, Gagnon said it would be an honor to host the Canadian and World games in Vancouver.
