Head Coach Surprises Members

One of the members of Team Triumph had posted that their trail race had been canceled, but the Race Director was going to send anyone who had signed up and still decided to complete the race distance a pair of socks for doing so.

This got me thinking that I would like to do something similar for the 45 members who participated in the Team Triumph Virtual St. Patricks Day run. I decided that a headband would be nice.

On Thursday and Friday of last week, me and my Director of Logistics, Martin Couet, set out to hand-deliver the headbands to anyone who lived locally.

As we drove, walked or mailed the prizes I kept thinking how incredibly grateful I felt to have these people as part of my club. I realized just how far they drove to be part of our tribe.

What a cool experience it was driving around and seeing where they lived. We saw people in Pj's at 4 pm in the afternoon, we met Julia and Brad's Vlaming's sweet new baby, we felt the stress that Louise Lewis James is managing with 3 kids and her ill Mother at home and sent her virtual hugs. We smelled the delicious home-cooked meals you were preparing, we saw Stephanie Obaseki-Johnson kids and Cecile Beaurepaire's kids waving in the window, we met a few of your barking dogs and we saw people sweaty after their workouts! I was happy to be able to give Brenda Ross a virtual hug and thank her for supporting the daily administration to help turn Team Triumph into a virtual club. 

What a fulfilling couple of days.

Beginner Triathlon Course

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?". ðŸ˜‰

 

So glad to have found this club and looking forward to many more triathlons in the near future!!! Tai Teleso

Swim Coaching - Cut Time Off my 100 meter

Julia is incredible, I once had a coach who told me to get good at biking and running as he couldn't do anything with my swim technique. Then I was introduced to Julia who is so patient and has an amazing ability to translate it all into a way I could understand. I knocked a minute per 100m off my open water swim times after only a handful of sessions with her. The team is also really welcoming, inclusive and most of all FUN!

There is no other place, or group, I would rather be training with.

Triumph is a warm and fun place for every level of triathlete. Whether you’re just getting started and learning all about triathlon or have been at it for decades, like some of us, you will find camaraderie and expertise in this group with Julia Aimers’ support and caring. She keeps up-to-date in so many areas of training, especially for women and including women’s issues whether it be nutrition or menopause. I highly recommend Team Triumph for swimming, biking, running or putting it all together in one package. There is no other place or group,  I would rather be training with. So many of my close friends were met in this group.
