TEAM TRIUMPH - ST PADDY'S VIRTUAL CLUB RUN FOR MENTAL HEALTH
WOWOWOWOW!! What an amazing turnout we had this weekend for the 5km - 10km virtual walk/run event!! It was such fun looking at all of your accomplishments and pictures. Congrats to all who took part. We actually had a few PB's today which is pretty amazing given the stress levels of the past week.
A special shout out and thumbs up to Byron Johnson, one of our oldest members (over 70), for staying indoors and self-isolating after returning home from the states. I know it's not easy and if you know Byron he could kick most of our butts running and cycling for that matter!
