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 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
