The triathlon season has kicked off with a bang, and what better way to dive into the action than with the Early Bird Triathlon! This year's event not only witnessed seasoned athletes taking on the challenge but also welcomed the next generation of triathletes with open arms. From seasoned pros to first-timers, the spirit of camaraderie and competition was palpable at the starting line.
A special shoutout goes to our newcomers who conquered their first triathlon. To those who dipped their toes into the sport for the first time, we hope this experience has ignited a passion for triathlons that will keep you coming back for more. And let's not forget the invaluable contribution of volunteers like Denise Pittuck, whose dedication ensures the smooth running of these events.

The essence of the Early Bird Triathlon isn't just about crossing the finish line—it's about the joy, the camaraderie, and the sheer determination that fills the air. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Coach Gabi, whose presence at the race not only guided newcomers but also captured priceless moments and cheered on our athletes every step of the way.
As the season unfolds, we continue to witness remarkable performances from our athletes. Isaac Gonzalez Garcia's stellar showing at the Sevilla Olympic Distance Triathlon is a testament to the dedication and skill within our community. And let's not forget the recent success at the Mother's Day 5km Flower Run, where our athletes continued to shine bright.
The Early Bird Triathlon not only marks the beginning of a new season but also symbolizes the resilience, passion, and spirit of our triathlon community. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer, there's something truly special about pushing your limits and celebrating each milestone along the way. Here's to many more triumphant races ahead!
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!

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
