We had a perfect day for the 3km swim this year and it was great to see so many Triumphers old and new out there doing their best. We had our first two podium finishes! Chris came 2nd in his age cat finishing in a time of 46:35 without a wetsuit! Renee came 3rd in her age cat!
MEANWHILE IN MUSKOKA...
MUSKOKA IRONMAN 70.3
It's always a reassuring feeling to know you're not alone out there on race day especially when it's your 1st race! Thanks to Carl for connecting Phil, John and Christine together. Congrats to all of you!

"CARL...you are an Ironman!!"
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
