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!
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!
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!
