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

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
