The Dynamic Duo Coneheads (Deborah and Julie) were back at their usual follies at the St Lawrence Marathon on the weekend!
Congratulations to Julie Matte, Deborah Jackman, Sabrina Beauchamp and Byron Johnson for getting to the finish line of the marathon.
Byron also earned a 2nd place in his age category and made a few friends along the course (seen below).
Congrats also go to France Girard for completing the 10km race.
This was Julie's first marathon and for Deborah a stepping stone on her journey to Ironman Maryland. Sabrina is in our 70.3 Group Training Program and she is preparing for the 70.3 in Tremblant.
Way to GO crew!

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
