Next in our Virtual Challenge series is the Perth Triathlon.
Perth is one of Team Triumph's favourite races and for sure a 1st triathlon for so many.
Here is the challenge: complete one of the swim video workouts on our youtube channel [here] or a real swim then bike 16km and run 3km OR 32km and 6km if you want to do the double distance.
Look at your stats from last year and see if you can beat them or if you can win your age category from last year! Be sure to let us know what you did! Do not forget that the prizes given away are usually baked goods, so you have permission to eat pie after :-)
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!
