Team Triumph Shines at the Races Despite Tough Weather Conditions!

The weekend was filled with challenging weather conditions, but that didn’t stop Team Triumph from showing up and delivering incredible performances across multiple races!

Eren Perez: You Are an Ironman!
A huge congratulations to Eren Perez for completing her first-ever Ironman at Ironman Wisconsin. Despite facing crazy winds and cool temperatures, Eren executed her race to perfection. She started strong in the swim, maintained discipline on the bike by pacing herself to conserve energy for the marathon, and ultimately delivered an outstanding performance, passing eight athletes in her age group during the marathon to cross the finish line!
This season alone, Eren has completed the Boston Marathon, IM 70.3 Mont-Tremblant, IM 70.3 Muskoka, and now IM Wisconsin. Eren, your dedication and talent are truly inspiring. We couldn’t be prouder of you!

Esprit Triathlon, Montreal
Meanwhile, over in Montreal, athletes braved freezing temperatures at the Esprit Triathlon. The weather was so cold that wetsuits were mandatory for competitors on Sunday. In the Olympic Distance race, Karyn Houle from our Olympic Distance Group Program completed her first triathlon despite the chilly conditions. Kudos to all the athletes who powered through the elements and made it to the finish line!

Vilnius Marathon, Lithuania
In contrast to the cold races in North America, it was a hot and sunny day in Vilnius, Lithuania. Our Director of Logistics and Humour, Martin Couet, represented his NATO unit at the Vilnius Marathon, volunteering at a water station in the morning and participating in the 10km race in the afternoon. Great work, Martin!
