Thank You From SickKids
I would like to thank everyone for their tremendous support of SickKids through their participation in the Toronto Island Triathlon. Not only did you challenge yourself physically, but you challenged yourself in fundraising. And because of that, over $12,700 was raised in support of our mission to build a new SickKids.

Thank you so much to everyone who raised funds and awareness for SickKids, and congratulations on your participation in the triathlon!

Improve your Swim in the Off-Season
You are a triathlete. You’ve finished your last race of the season. You were looking forward to some down time and now you don’t know what to do with yourself or how to direct your focus and energy over the next couple of months. Well, assuming your 2019 race season starts in the spring, now is the perfect time to work on your weaknesses in the sport.

Be honest with yourself and decide what part of triathlon is your weakest and could use some extra focus, and then plan your training time accordingly. For many of us, swimming is our weakness and it’s also the sport that requires the most time and organization to get done. If you commit yourself to putting in the effort, you’ll be more likely to find ways to fit training sessions into your week instead of coming up with excuses for not doing it.
