Team Triumphers Battle Mother Nature at Richmond Road Race

Team Triumphers Battle Mother Nature at Richmond Road Race

It's almost a guarantee that if you participate in the Richmond Road Race Mother Nature is going to through some serious weather your way.  This year was no different.  Congrats to all of the Team Triumphers who battled the snow and cold and the famous train blocking the route in Richmond last weekend. Julie, Sarah, and Deborah from the 70.3 Group Training Program met up at the race.


Here is Deborah's report:

This was the first time I had run the Richmond Road Race. It is a smaller venue, but very well organized.  Parking is simple and free right at the school. The open gym made it easy for spectators to stay warm while we were out on the course. Bib pick-up on the morning of the event was very easy and super fast.

Mother Nature decided she was going to throw some nasty weather our way to challenge us and stay true to the race motto “Run Fast or Freeze”!  Road conditions weren’t ideal (although the plows had been over the course prior to the start) and the blowing/drifting snow made for a cold/messy run. It was the kind of run where you felt you were running in sand and hard to get traction. It was great to see volunteers out on the course cheering everyone on even in such conditions.  

The medals were fabulous and definitely worth the effort!  After the race, there was a lovely smorgasbord of food along with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer available to finishers.  Although I didn’t have any food it certainly looked like everyone was enjoying it!

Most importantly, It was great to meet up with fellow teammates to be able to cheer and encourage each other!

From treading water to an Olympic Triathlon

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

Private Swim Lessons

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!

Virtual 70.3 Half Ironman Course is Incredible

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!
