CHEO CYCLING CHALLENGE
What a perfect weekend for our CHEO Cycling Challenge! Team Triumphers took to the streets and jumped on their trainers to support the challenge. The goal was to ride 50-70km or bike 5km with their kids to support our drive to donate children's masks to help protect the kids at CHEO. Congratulations to everyone who geared up for the challenge.
According to Team Triumpher Pascale, our master seamstress, she has 126 orders so far. Let's see if we can get to 150 masks! The good news is, it's not too late to order! Just $5.00 goes a long way!
Thanks a million to Pascale who has been busy sewing masks galore for our CHEO Challenge! If you would like to purchase one for yourself or donate kids' masks for CHEO, for only $5.00, please contact her directly, let her know how many masks you would like to order for boys or girls and then send her an e-transfer. Here is her email address - pascale_savard@hotmail.com

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!
