Prince Edward County Half Marathon
Congratulations to Anna and Mark Belanger! Looks like they had an awesome time at the Prince Edward County Half Marathon!
Here is Anna's report:
The temperature was perfect for running and the locals are super lovely. Mark got a PB...he is on my heels! It was a decent race for me but I was exhausted (Anna did the Army Run's Commander's Challenge last weekend)
What I love about this race is the winding country side and the locals who come out to support the race. You have the opportunity to run along the lake, through forests and then through the town. Great overnight with friends, local wineries and quaint restaurants to visit. The race is very well organized with water stations every 2kms and ample portable toilets. It's not a crowded race with under 400 people in the half marathon. It's also a Boston Qualifier plus the best time of year to run races!
Sounds like a nice race to put on our bucket list. Thanks for your report!
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
