HEROES IN OUR TRIBE OF TRIUMPHERS
We have always been impressed with our members, whether they are slaying their triathlon goals or are being just amazing in everyday life. Here is an update from our blog last week on what we would like to call our "Hero's"
Thank you to everyone who called, messaged, or stopped by with food for Louise or joined us on our Ride To Remember for Louise's Mum. It was amazing to see our Tribe coming together to support our teammate through this difficult time. Louise had this to say " Lasted an hour and cried off and on through the whole thing. My teammates are such kind and wonderful people ❤️"
Thanks also goes out this week to Anna Belanger as she led the Conquer Covid-19 initiative in collecting PPE and donating it to those in need. She will be doing it again next weekend. If you would like to donate your time, please get in touch with Anna. You can find her on Facebook here
Pascale Savard has been busy sewing masks and headbands galore! If you would like to purchase one for $5.00 please email her directly: pascale_savard@hotmail.com. Coach Julia will be picking up the masks if you would like to pick your up from her front porch.
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
