We had a perfect day for the 3km swim this year and it was great to see so many Triumphers old and new out there doing their best. We had our first two podium finishes! Chris came 2nd in his age cat finishing in a time of 46:35 without a wetsuit! Renee came 3rd in her age cat!
MEANWHILE IN MUSKOKA...
MUSKOKA IRONMAN 70.3
It's always a reassuring feeling to know you're not alone out there on race day especially when it's your 1st race! Thanks to Carl for connecting Phil, John and Christine together. Congrats to all of you!
CARL SPEEDS TO THE FINISH LINE IN MUSKOKA!
"CARL...you are an Ironman!!"
I love the accountability and the structure of the Virtual 70.3 Half Ironman training program. I don't think I would have gotten this far without the program. The accountability is huge for me!

My coach Kevin Willis is amazing. His swim practices have been a real game-changer for me. A great communicator regardless of your swim level. The whole club is supportive of everything you do. You don't need to be an Ironman to benefit from their programs. 5 stars all around!!! - Denise Pittuck
I just wanted to thank you and your team (Gabi! Brenda! Maggie! Dawn!) for making last weekend's event so amazing. I had tried to do a try-a-tri on my own last summer, and the experience was night and day.
Even though I didn't make every virtual session, I felt so prepared... I knew where to go for information, and I knew I had a team of people (coaches and our beginner tri group!) who were all there to support me.
It was interesting to watch Eric train on his own (without access to the TrainingPeaks workouts and without the weekly meetings to ask questions and learn more about proper form and race-day stuff). When we left on Sunday, he looked at me and was like "we're DEFINITELY doing the training with Julia if we decide to go for the olympic distance, right?".
So glad to have found this club and looking forward to many more triathlons in the near future!!! Tai Teleso
