TRI RUDY AWARD
A HUGE congratulations to Coach Maggie for earning her 4th Tri Rudy Award!!!!
If you haven't heard about this prestigious award, it involves completing the Winterlude Triathlon, a marathon, the Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour plus an Ironman all in one year! Not an easy feat for one year and this is Maggie's 4th time completing it! Way to go Maggie!!
This evening Coach Maggie received her award at the Tri Rudy awards night and party. Team Triumph is a proud sponsor of Tri Rudy, a daily email chat for triathletes which was started in Ottawa. www.trirudy.com or join their Facebook group

Congratulations also go out to Ranya El Sadawy for completing the half marathon in Syracuse last weekend. She has had a busy and successful Fall of racing. Kit E was also at it again! Yesterday she completed the Rock 'n Roll half marathon in Las Vegas!
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
