Tremblant-Syracuse-Welland-Tinman-Smith Falls Race Highlights

Tremblant-Syracuse-Welland-Tinman-Smith Falls Race Highlights

Tremblant Ironman Weekend 2018

CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU!

Congratulations to all of the Team Triumphers who raced the Sprint, Olympic and Half Ironman Races. It was a joy to race with some of you and cheer on the rest of you. Thanks so much to everyone who cheered us on and our families who carted our stuff around and supported us at our races!!

The weather could not have been better, the lake was a perfect temperature, the wind picked up on Sunday just after most had turned around on the bike, and the sprinkles of rain came when most were done running - and those running could use the cool off.

We had one podium finish on the weekend which went to Debi Zaret who came in 1st in her age category in her 1st open water triathlon!! I loved what she had to say about her race: "When people ask me how I feel about my race, I explain that regardless of how I did, I am so lucky to have the ability to participate in triathlon and most importantly, be part of an amazing community (regardless of age), who are so supportive of each other!!" This community of friends is what being part of Team Triumph is all about. Thank you Debi for summing it up so eloquently!

SYRACUSE TRIATHLON RACE REPORT
By: Coach Maggie

“Heat and Hills” defined the Syracuse 70.3! Temperature was a balmy 31 degrees before noon. The swim starts in the Jamesville Reservoir and was a rolling start. This definitely works well as you can place yourself with similar speed swimmers.

Run up to bike transition and you're off with a good 20 km of climbing to get you warmed up! This is a beautiful bike course but challenging with deep rolling hills that make you dig deep to keep a good average speed. Much of the middle section is through farmland and is “perfumed” accordingly. The final descent is speedy (people clock upwards to 60 mph) and there is a 90 degree turn at the bottom. So they don’t allow aero bars and your speed can’t go over 25 mph ( they have timing strips set up). You are DQ'd if you do.

This run course is hilly and challenging - add the heat and it is rather brutal! I hydrated well on the bike but  felt the body slow down considerably and walked the hills to conserve energy.
Finished on a strong note placing first in my age category!

I recommend this race as a kickstart to your season!!

Congrats Maggie on battling the heat and hills and coming in 1st place!!!

From treading water to an Olympic Triathlon

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

Private Swim Lessons

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!

Virtual 70.3 Half Ironman Course is Incredible

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!
