It’s another Medal Monday. 🏅🏅🏅🏅

Josh and David completed their first triathlons yesterday in Key Biscayne Fld.  It was a good opportunity for them to go through the triathlon process prior to their 70.3 in Haines City later this year.  Both did great and had fun. I think the pre and post pics speak for themselves. When asked if they what lessons they learned? Make sure you know the difference between water and sports drink on course and a new slogan “pacing is racing”!

conquered the Berlin Marathon in the same week as achieving her PhD!  She had a bumpy road to reach race day navigating a complicated injury that greatly reduced her ability to run train.  But through lots of physio, strength & rehab training, along with a dynamic and creative training plan and a lot of tenacity she reached the start line healthy and ran the race achieving her second World Major Marathon Star.  

One of our nutrition clients also successfully completed her second 70.3 in Cozumel and took nearly 90 mins off her previous time.

Congrats everyone!

The HEAL team took on the Wasaga Beach triathlon on Saturday.

Hector raced his 5th of 6 triathlons this year! He has been having a kick ass season placing on top of this AG podium as well as getting onto the overall men’s podium in many of his races. Wasaga was no exception. With ideal conditions (calm water and coolish temps) Hector was 4th male overall in the sprint and 1st in his AG. He had an all time best time in the 5k run as well. Up next, Hector takes on the Montreal Esprit Oly tri.

Sabrina raced her second ever Olympic, her 4th triathlon of the season. The water was less calm for the Olympic distance athletes which had a later start. But Sabrina had a great day taking 5 mins off her previous olympic distance time. Next up Sabrina heads to Lakeside for the Sprint and then Wollongong, Australia in October.

Former HEAL athlete Meg gets an honourable mention for completing her first Olympic in more than 5 years and landing on the podium for 2nd place with a PR swim and bike time.

Coach did her second sprint tri of the season and despite a knee injury impacting her ability to train the run properly she managed 6th female and 1st in AG.

HEAL athletes took to the IM Canada-Ottawa challenge this past weekend.

Sean wanted to race in his “adopted” home town b/c he gets warm fuzzies when he sees the Peace Tower. Main Goal: Finish the race & enjoy! Sean’s process goes: Stay cool, actively troubleshoot issues before they become bigger. Post-race Sean said he was happy with the swim, super happy with the bike (not having a functioning power meter might have been a blessing mentally) and got through the run with perseverance.
Congrats on IM #2 Sean!

Jess wanted to do IMOtt in her words “renew” her ability to call herself an Ironman after previously completing IM Tremblant 6 years ago. The Ottawa race seemed just right as it was drivable making logistics easy and spectator friendly.

Pre race Jess said “embrace the misery” and remember that no one forced her to do this so it’s her responsibility to finish. While some might not think that is a great outlook, taking a blunt and pragmatic approach to what is going to be a long tough day can be just what one needs to succeed. She got through the training block uninjured and came out of the race uninjured and in the process, Jess took 90 mins off her last Ironman!
Congrats on IM #2 Jess!

Kim Carlin signed up for this Ironman on her 50th Birthday when should could barely walk due to a foot injury. For her it wasn’t about the race itself but a commitment she was making to a new chapter of getting healthier physically and mentally. She had some big challenges along the way including losing her dad, her two cats and a big bike crash 8 weeks before race day. Before the race Kim said: “No matter what happens I’m happy and feel like a better version of myself for all that I have put in!”

On race day Kim was able to prove to herself that women don’t fade as they age, they rise! Fighting through neck & back pain early in the race, Kim stayed on top of her nutrition throughout the bike and pushed through. Due to the crash we knew the run would be tough and had a run/fast walk plan in place. Kim didn’t quit & got to that finish line successfully completing IM #3!

I’m so happy I was able to be there. It was an amazing day out there!!
