Week of May 21st

A great weekend at the races for Team Triumph. Has anyone heard of the Goofy Marathon at Disney where you do a half marathon one day and a full marathon the next? Well Kit E created her own Goofy Triathlon. Over the past several months, Kit was determined to get back into the pool with me after a 9 year break from triathlon. 10 years ago Kit joined Team Triumph, learned how to swim and finished her first tri in Perth. We were all in tears seeing her finish. She then returned to doing marathons.

 

Well, this weekend Kit finished the Carleton super sprint coming 2nd in her age category and then on Sunday finished the Perth triathlon. Congrats Kit, you are an inspiration to all those people on the list who are learning to swim or refreshing their skills.

This is the last week for all spin classes. It's time to ride outside!

Also any of the intervals or tabatas that we have been doing in the spin classes work outside to!
