Saturday, March 2, the Hypothermic Half Races took place at the Marshes Golf Course in Kanta.
With the winter we have been having, participants were hoping the weatherman was going to be right and it was going to be much warmer than previous years. This race has a history of being very very
Thankfully the weather was much nicer this year, allowing the participants to focus more on the course and less on the weather. This was a looped course with rolling hills and plenty of turns to keep racers interested. The event had a brunch after and all participants got a bladder pack as race kit and super cool finishers medal.
Congratulations to our members: Glen Paradis, Cecile Beaurepaire, Anna Belanger for participating in the Half Marathon Distances.

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!

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
