Home race and the crew stepped up big this weekend. Several podium finishes, personal bests, and first time racers. These performances are the result of another year of tough and consistent training, belief in the program and daily environment, and most of all team support that continues to make the process rewarding and sustainable. #triathlon #strongertogether #findyouredge

Open Water swim clinics are back! Come join us June 15th at the Welland International Flatwater Centre.

Another step forward today for the crew at our 3rd annual swim TT marking the end of another hard week of training. For many athletes there were personal best times, for others today was less about time and more about stepping outside of our comfort zone and challenging ourselves in a new race environment. Job very well done crew. #triathlon #swim #findyouredge @ Kiwanis Aquatic Centre

Best one minute swim workout you will ever do #highstrokerate #triathlon #happynewyear #findyouredge @quinnfox23 @jodimarascofox

Coaches Kyle Jones and Jeff Scull battling it out during a workout on the infamous Hydro Hill Hills are a staple year round in the Edge program whether they are long repeats or within intervals and tempo runs. As triathletes we have limited run volume compared to pure runners and therefore we need to focus on sessions that will give us the biggest return mentally and physically on our time. Hills are one way to do this. #tough #running #triathlon #findyouredge

Congratulations to Erin Snelgrove for being named to the Triathlon Ontario Long Course Development Team #findyouredge

Mary Ann McKinley, Edge athlete and AG qualifier for the ITU World Champs in 2019, riding with a straight arm vs bent arm. Although the straight arm position is comfortable riding indoors, we want to train as we race - in the more aerodynamic bent arm position (lower head). Additionally the bent arm position reduces tension, absorbs bumps, lowers centre of gravity, and improves handling skills. This position will require more core strength to become less reliant on propping yourself up on the handlebars with a locked arm. Challenge yourself this winter to ride with a bent arm position and the transition to spring riding will be faster and smoother.

Very thankful for this amazing group of kids. Over the course of the year these kids took another big step forward in becoming stronger athletes - they challenged each other in training, they learned from each other and their coaches, and most of all they always supported one another day in day out. A great conclusion to the year with the EDGE Kids party.
