TREMBLANT RACE REPORT
Congratulations to Team Triumpher's past and present for completing the Ironman 70.3 and the 5150 in Mt Tremblant this weekend!! We are just in the door from an exciting day tracking Triumphers on the course. I was so impressed and proud of everyone out there doing the best with who they are and their life situations. Everyone has a story and a reason why. What's important is that you are all out there doing what so few people in this world can do. You all completed what you set out to do and hopefully had fun training and completing it.
Our top female athlete of the day was Laurie Gorman in a time of 5:10 and 7th overall in her age category. Our top male finisher was Phil Hodson in a time of 5:08. They were both so fast, I couldn't snap a picture of them!! Congratulations to Kory and Diane: Kory was a guide for Diane, a blind athlete...so inspiring! Peter crossed the line as our oldest Triumpher in the 65-69 category and came in 9th in his age category. It was a great day for racing: not too hot and not too cold and just when it started to get hot the rain came down to cool everyone down. Well done everyone!

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!
