Team Triumph Triathlon Club & Store

We had a great gang of 30 members and coaches out for the annual Team Triumph St Paddy's Day Fun Run/Walk. What a blast to get out and run, walk, smile, eat and socialize together!! For many this was the first time they have met in person after two years of either listening to their voices during the cycling classes or seeing each other on Zoom. Congrats to everyone for completing their planned distances and speeds!

It was lovely to have Darius and Dorota's baby Sofia join us and complete her first Team Triumph event!

 

Thank you to Gabi for getting the event organized. We look forward to the next one! Thanks a million to Martin, our Director of Logistics and Humour, for cheering everyone on at the turnaround point.

 

During the yummy brunch at the Canal Ritz we presented the prestigious Athlete of the Year Award followed by the draw for the winning team of the KM Challenge! 

 

Every year we present a trophy to the Athlete of the Year. Usually the award goes to an athlete who competes on the international stage at a world championship event. This year again, without any world championships, we had no athletes to choose from but it couldn't be a better year to select an athlete who has worked so hard to come back from a traumatic event in the military which lead to PTSD and struggles with addiction. Congratulations to Gabi Porter for completing an Ironman in Maryland, having stayed in a tent the nights before and covered in jelly fish stings after the swim! You are a true athlete, hero, an inspiration and a JOY to have in our club!
