This past weekend, the graduates from our Olympic Distance Group Program proudly represented Team Triumph at the Canadian Triathlon! Despite predictions of rain and cooler temperatures, the day turned out clear enough for our athletes to shine on the course.
A heartfelt thank you to the incredible Coach Gabi for being there to support and cheer on our athletes.
It was also fantastic to see Sarv Heirani at the Glen Tay Block race in Perth last week. She delivered an outstanding run—congrats, Sarv!
Meanwhile, I had the pleasure of completing my last triathlon of the season in Lithuania. The race took place in a stunning spa resort town near the border of Poland and Belarus—a perfect way to wrap up a successful season. It’s hard to believe the season is nearly over, but there are still a few races left. Best of luck to all our athletes competing in the coming weeks!

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
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!
