A couple of times a year we like to organize fundraising events.
This past Saturday, our Community Coordinator Gabi Porter organized a charity ride where all funds raised would be donated to The Shepherds of Good Hope.
It was great to have Gabi on Discord sharing her experience as a volunteer at the Shepherds of Good Hope. Most of us had no idea what amazing programs they have over there to help people in distress in our community feel safe. I know that every time I felt like I was suffering during the 5-hour ride I thought about those in our city who are homeless and hungry and the feeling went away.
We had a great time on Saturday conquering the Mega Pretzel Route on Zwift! We chose this route because it was challenging, just like the conditions that people who need the services of our charity have to face day in and day out.
The course was 107.3 km with a total elevation of 1638 m
We encouraged everyone to ride whatever distance they wanted and for every hour of riding to make a minimum donation of $25.00
Giving is receiving and we are happy that Team Triumphers is such a giving group.

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!
