WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DAY AT THE PERTH TRIATHLON!!
Thanks a million to Triumpher Kris Plant and her team for putting on another spectacular event! We had a record-setting 25 Team Triumph members competing this year..woo hoo!! There were so many amazing stories to be told today; from where everyone started and where they are now. It's all about the journey and for some, it has just begun.
For others, it's a test of the three sports and what life throws at you from one year to the next. What stands out, is that no matter what, we stay healthy and fit and keep coming back year after year. It's equally important that we have the same joy crossing the finish line as we did the years before. As you can see below, there was plenty of JOY, pie, fudge and cookies to go around!
Congratulations to everyone who crossed the finish line today. You made all of your coaches proud!

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
I just wanted to thank you and your team (Gabi! Brenda! Maggie! Dawn!) for making last weekend's event so amazing. I had tried to do a try-a-tri on my own last summer, and the experience was night and day.
Even though I didn't make every virtual session, I felt so prepared... I knew where to go for information, and I knew I had a team of people (coaches and our beginner tri group!) who were all there to support me.
It was interesting to watch Eric train on his own (without access to the TrainingPeaks workouts and without the weekly meetings to ask questions and learn more about proper form and race-day stuff). When we left on Sunday, he looked at me and was like "we're DEFINITELY doing the training with Julia if we decide to go for the olympic distance, right?".
So glad to have found this club and looking forward to many more triathlons in the near future!!! Tai Teleso
