TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE TRI CHRISTMAS!
The wetsuits were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that TriSanta soon would be there;
The running shoes were nestled all snug in their boxes by the beds,
While visions of personal best danced in the triathletes heads;
And the tribike in the garage, and I in my swim cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out of transition there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the pool to see what was the matter.
Away to the run I flew like a flash,
Tore off my clothes and threw on my lucky cycling sash.
The sun sparkled clear and bright and I was ready to go,
All I had to do was clip in down below,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a super fast man in red with the speed of eight reindeer,
With an all carbon bike, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be TriSanta; the race favorite pick.
More rapid than eagles on this course he came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called all of us by name;
"Now, Chuckie! now, Gutti! now, Fliegs and Tim T.!
On, Wendy! on Zen! on, Michael and Iron P!
Through the second transition now! And right through them all!
Now away! run away! run for the finish all!"
As empty gels that before the wild hurricane fly,
We will meet at the finish, of this Holiday Tri,
He crossed the finish line first, and went straight to his work,
And filled all of the transition bags with presents; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger on the side of his gear shift,
And giving a nod, with a mighty big push histribike did lift;
He stood up on his bike, to his team race Athlete gave a whistle,
And away he flew like a red triathlete missile.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he rode out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all triathletes, and to all a good-night"
Thanks to TriSanta.com for the terrific greeting card images and to Clement Clarke Moore for the poem!
A huge thank you to my Triathlon coach, Julia Cooper-Aimers. She took the time last week to drop off (from a distance because of COVID19 restrictions) some tri shorts I ordered along with a well-appreciated note to remind me that there will be ups and downs and that things will get better. She has gone above and beyond to support all of her athletes and our Team Triumph club, by providing almost daily strength, yoga, and spinning videos that have been uploaded to Youtube for anyone who needs a little motivation during these challenging times as well as many words of encouragement. I am grateful for her support and encouragement. ❤️

Training with Team Triumph for 7 months (so far) made me faster and stronger while building nourishing connections with like-minded fitness nuts and shattering the expectations I had of myself. TT is a crew of inspiring people pursuing epic individual goals and encouraging each other along the way. Julia and her team have expert knowledge and provide a thoughtful evidence-based group program that works. I am privileged and thankful to have Team Triumph in my neighborhood and can't wait to get back to the pool!

I want to thank you for always putting our well-being at the forefront of your business model. You suspended face-to-face programs in a timely manner, leading the way in a fitness business world that took much too long to respond and put their members’ health and the community at risk. You « triumphed « in quickly acting to flatten the curve.
Your caring nature resulted in a series of innovative and fun virtual sessions and opened them to the community. I am missing the live interaction now that I am working for a few months but I appreciate that I can access the videos according to my schedule. Yin/yang session tonight, just what I needed.
Not to mention the check-ins, the home deliveries, the charitable events. Priceless.
