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.

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!

My coach Kevin Willis is amazing. His swim practices have been a real game-changer for me. A great communicator regardless of your swim level. The whole club is supportive of everything you do. You don't need to be an Ironman to benefit from their programs. 5 stars all around!!! - Denise Pittuck
I just wanted to thank you and your team (Gabi! Brenda! Maggie! Dawn!) for making last weekend's event so amazing. I had tried to do a try-a-tri on my own last summer, and the experience was night and day.
Even though I didn't make every virtual session, I felt so prepared... I knew where to go for information, and I knew I had a team of people (coaches and our beginner tri group!) who were all there to support me.
It was interesting to watch Eric train on his own (without access to the TrainingPeaks workouts and without the weekly meetings to ask questions and learn more about proper form and race-day stuff). When we left on Sunday, he looked at me and was like "we're DEFINITELY doing the training with Julia if we decide to go for the olympic distance, right?".
So glad to have found this club and looking forward to many more triathlons in the near future!!! Tai Teleso
