We had so much FUN on Saturday spinning our Hearts out for our future Olympians. Everyone reported how motivating it was to not only get the average watts up but also to try to keep them up for 90 minutes!! It was tough but we had such a blast doing it!! We pumped out 2715 average watts and raised $2715 just from that effort on Saturday. Our final fundraising efforts will be announced shortly, as those that could not make it to the class were given permission to submit their avg watts from their weekly rides. The numbers are still rolling in.
AT THE RACES!!
Those who were not spinning on Saturday were out competing at all kinds of races!! Congratulations to everyone who participated!!

A year ago I could only tread water and had not run since childhood. With the amazing Virtual Olympic course, support, guidance, and tips from of all the folks at Team Triumph I've ended the season with my first Olympic distance triathlon under my belt and am hooked! Really looking forward to the 2025 season and even to the hard work over the winter to prepare. Karen Houle
I wanted to let you know that the Perth triathlon was a great experience, I somehow placed third in my age group! What a supportive group of participants (including Team Triumph athletes), cheering bystanders and volunteers.
Thanks to your swim lessons, I learned the technical basics and gained confidence to get back in the pool after decades. And it was really special doing this with Ann Laidlaw, my bestie for many years. We did a couple of additional swims with Kevin and Team Triumph people, also a great way to continue learning and practicing good technical form.
I will continue with lane swimming and who knows, maybe there's another triathlon in my future!
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!
