This coming week, we are challenging you to complete one of the Tremblant race distances:
Sprint - 750m Swim, 20km Bike, 5km Run
Olympic - 1500m Swim, 40km Bike, 10km Run, or
70.3 - 2km Swim, 90km Bike, 21km Run.
Please be sure that you are adequately trained for the distance that you choose and that you bring the proper fuel along for your event. Also, be sure to have a swim buddy and a float with you if you're heading into open water.
Some of our members are going to be in the Gats on Saturday to do their challenge. Hopefully, we will see you whizzing by! A great option is to swim from O'Brien and make the parking lot your transition zone. A short loop is 21k, 2 loops would give you 42k or you could do the 44km Gamelin loop twice and add a bit more. The run is an out and back x1, x2 or x3 depending on your chosen challenge from O'Brien with the parking lot being a great refueling station. If a half marathon is a bit too long after the swim and run, you can always do it the following day.
Don't forget to send us your pictures upon completion of your challenge!!
Have a glorious week!
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!
