What an incredible weekend of weather we had. The icing on the cake was the opening of the Gatineau Park.  On Strava, it looks like most of our members took advantage of the weather and got outside and into Gatineau park for hikes, runs, and long rides.

Harry Briggs even got out for a swim in Britannia and Michael Pierce was swimming from Salt Spring Island!

We issued the Ottawa Race Weekend Challenge last week and as always our members rose to the occasion.

Congratulations to all of our members who went out and challenged themselves. We know it's not easy to push the pace when there isn't a real race. The sheer ability to get off the couch and do the distance is not something that everyone can even contemplate doing. Remember that fact and be proud of how far you have all come!

They were invited to do the virtual Cabot Trail Run Relay Race, which is a 185 mile/276.33 km, 17 stage relay race. This is a link to it http://cabottrailrelay.com. They ran Leg 3 and Leg 5 together in the hills of Cantley! Cristina reported that "it was tough on the hills and with the warm weather but we had fun."

271 MASKS DONATED TO CHEO!

On Thursday we dropped off the masks that our Team Triumph members kindly donated to CHEO. CHEO staff were shocked and so grateful to see 271 masks in all sizes, from infants to teens and some for parents too! It was very rewarding to see that as we dropped the masks off, we were shown a family being admitted and they all received masks as they arrive through the door.
