Last week we challenged our members, in honour of the Rideau Lakes Tour to complete two long rides back to back. The options were:
25k/25k
50k/50k
50k/100k, or for those well trained up 100k/100k or maybe more!
This truly was a bigger challenge than expected given a few rainy days, extreme winds and the cooler weather we had. There were 7 of us who completed the challenge:
Dan 51k/100k
Glen 121k/122k
Darius 120k/45k
Ranya 54k/108k
Luc 60k/120k
Renee 60k/83k
Coach Julia 100k/100k
For those tapering for their A Event Tremblant Challenge next weekend, I was happy to see that you behaved and stuck to your schedule!
Congratulations everyone.

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!
