What a weekend it was for Team Triumph as our athletes gathered at four different races to put their training to the test! Congratulations to everyone for stepping up to the start line and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable!!
For many of our athletes, the swim is by far the most challenging part. We have helped so many of you over the years to learn to overcome fears of the water and anxiety. You can see by the look on some of their faces below, that they were pretty darn happy to get out of that water!!
We had a great cheering crew out under the Team Triumph tent as well throughout the weekend. Thanks to those who cheered on their teammates and put smiles on their faces as they went by.
Meanwhile, in Montreal we had a few members doing the World Championships, our wonderful Brenda Ross did the Tupper Lake Tinman and Drew Dobson completed Ironman Nice!!
Congrats to all of YOU for starting and even if some didn't finish you are all heroes for Triing!!!

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
