Somersault Canadian Triathlon Race Report 2025!
What a great day for Team Triumph at the Canadian Triathlons! We had a full force of athletes out there doing all of the different distances. Congrats to all of our members and alums for getting out there!
A HUGE shout out to the graduates of the Olympic/Sprint Group Program who stepped up and crushed their races. Thanks a million to Coach Gabi for being at the race yesterday and coaching and supporting this crazy fun group of triathletes!
Thanks also to Brenda for keeping up with all of the group programs over the past year, making sure that the emails and webinar recordings get out there promptly. It takes a village to produce a triathlete and I couldn't be prouder of our coaches and support team who create an amazing community for our members to train in.
Fall/Winter Olympic/Sprint Group Program for Graduates
CALL OF INTEREST?
By popular request, we have been asked to create an Olympic/Sprint Program for former graduates of all of our short course group programs over the past 4 years. This program would include weekly group trainer rides, access to pool swims at a preferred price, runs and, most importantly, off season strength training.
Coach Julia will continue to create the programs and Coach Gabi will oversee the program and meet up once a month on Zoom for a monthly check-in and Q & A. The idea for this program would be to have you ready to peak for the Tremblant 5151, Gatineau Triathlon or the Meech Lake Triathlon. If this is something you are interested in, please shoot me an email asap with your interest and any feedback about the program design to make sure that we suit your needs.

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!
