The Ottawa Early Bird Triathlon & Duathlon is a great early season warm-up for the avid participant and a super first time event for the beginner. The pool swim is safe, warm, and features a time trial start to help ensure you are not lapped. The cycle course is scenic and traffic-free along Colonel By Drive. Unfortunately, like many other races, the organizers canceled this years event do to COVID19.
We are a huge supporter of this race so we would like to issue a challenge to those are were signed up for the event this year.
Check out your stats from the last time you did this race and try to beat your bike and run times. Be sure to check your stats on Strava or Training Peaks because sometimes the courses can be short.
If you haven't done the race before no stress about time. Go for a 20km bike ride followed by a 5km run or walk.
Don't forget to take a picture and post results on our Facebook page so we know you completed it!
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!

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
