Triathlon season is now in full swing! What a busy weekend it was on the racing front. Our athletes were out pushing their limits at the Guelph, T100 Vancouver and Sherbrooke Triathlons.
Deborah Murfurt and Shelley Kirkpatrick both headed to Guelph having never met before. Thanks to Shelley's new Team Triumph kit they had the opportunity to meet. The rough swim at the Guelph triathlon certainly challenged our athletes but they stepped up to the lake and did their best!
Sabrina Beauchamp reported loving the challenging course in Vancouver and she got to see some of the best in the world competing! How cool is that?
Meanwhile, training buddies Chris Lil and Erik Shantz conquered the Sherbrooke Olympic Distance Triathlon.
Congratulations to all of our athletes!
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!
