Team Atomica

🌟 Race season is in full swing, and our Team Atomica athletes have been everywhere! 🏊🚴🏃

From podium finishes and first-ever races to practice events, breakthrough swims, tough conditions, and plenty of lessons learned, our athletes have been putting their training to the test all summer long. 🙌🔥

🏆 Julia had a fantastic weekend at Guelph Lake 1, placing 3rd in her age group in the Olympic tri with her fastest-ever swim, then following it up with 2nd in her age group in the sprint! 🙌

🌊 John took on the Welland Sprint as a practice race ahead of Muskoka, getting valuable work on his swim, transitions, and racing in the heat. 💪

🚴 Luke raced in beautiful Quebec City as a practice race ahead of Kona, putting his training to the test and coming away with lots of experience to take into his next race. 🌟

🧜‍♀️ Petrina completed her first-ever 3K open-water race — complete with a lost swim cap and some unexpected rock scrapes! 🌊 A memorable first race and the start of a very busy summer of racing!

🔥 Michael completed his first-ever triathlon, finishing in 3:01:19 — just 79 seconds shy of his 3-hour goal! 💪🏁

🥈 Jessica raced to 2nd place in the Women’s 40+ swim/run! 👏🔥

🏆 Bracebridge was a Team Atomica podium party! Lexy took 3rd in her age group, Nathalie 3rd, and Viktoria 1st! 🥉🥉🥇 Three teammates, three podiums!

🌊 Adrian had a huge swim breakthrough, going around 20 seconds/100m faster than his Toronto Triathlon pace last summer!  🙌 Next up: Barrelman!

🚴 Julia had an amazing Musselman race, finishing 16th in her age group and in the top 13% of women overall, despite battling a back spasm on the bike. Talk about determination! 🔥

💪 Alysha faced a cancelled swim, windy bike, and hot run at her race, but adapted and executed a strong day. It may not have been a PB, but it was a race to be proud of! 🙌

🏆 Chris capped things off with an age-group win! 🥇🔥

Every race is part of the journey.

🏊‍♀️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Gravenhurst Triathlon 2026 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏊

What a weekend!! 🎉🔥 From first-timers to overall winners, Gravenhurst gave us plenty to celebrate, plenty to laugh about, and plenty of stories we’ll be talking about for a while. 💙

Lexy’s race nearly ended before it started when she arrived in Gravenhurst and realized her entire triathlon bag was still in Toronto 😱🚗. After a late-night round trip, just a few hours of sleep, and some encouragement from Kate Butler, she made it to the start line and raced her way to 2nd in her age group 🥈—while beating her previous Gravenhurst time by a minute! 💪✨

Kate completed her first-ever Olympic-distance triathlon (and only her second triathlon ever!), finishing 8th in her age group 🙌. Less than a year ago, swimming 25m continuously felt impossible. This weekend she powered through 1,500m and crossed the finish line already thinking about the next race! 🌊🔥

Erica reminded us what race weekends are all about: adventures with friends, showing up through all kinds of weather ☔☀️, cheering each other on, and celebrating every win—whether it’s a podium or simply getting to the start line.

Andrew G. had his best Gravenhurst result yet, finishing 6th overall and 1st in his age group 🥇👏. Luke put together a phenomenal race to take 1st overall in the Olympic distance 🏆🔥.

Andy R. took on his first-ever duathlon 💥, while Steve Moore raced to 8th overall and Paul Huyer captured 1st in the 60–69 age group and 7th overall 🥇🙌.

And Tim wrapped up the weekend with his fastest-ever Olympic-distance race in Gravenhurst 🚴‍♂️⚡🏃‍♂️, proving that all those cold, dark training sessions were worth it.

Absolutely amazing results! 🎉

The high-fives, the encouragement, the finish-line smiles 😃, and the stories behind each race are what made this weekend so special. ❤️

Congratulations to everyone who raced, volunteered, cheered, and supported each other along the way. On to the next one! 🚀💙

Let’s keep the momentum for all of our upcoming races!!!🙌🙌🙌

It was another BIG weekend of racing for our community that included one of our LOCAL favorites: the TORONTO MARATHON! 🏠💙

VIKTORIIA ✨
Not only ACHIEVED a PERSONAL BEST, but reached an incredible milestone on her journey to her first Ironman 70.3. She credits Coach Irina: “Her knowledge and experience have helped me a lot in achieving this result.”

LIZ 🏙️
Fulfilled a lifelong DREAM of running the streets of the city she loves. Her takeaway? If you DREAM BIG and put the work in, ANYTHING is possible.

HUGO 🤝
“I really appreciate the support from the Team Atomica family, particularly coaches Irina and Ayesha.”

RODRIGO 🏔️
Took on the rolling hills of the VANCOUVER MARATHON. When his PB felt out of reach, he shifted focus and “decided to enjoy the views”... and still finished with an IMPRESSIVE 1:26 half-marathon—a true testament to STRENGTH and perspective.

COACH STEPHEN 🏆
Took full advantage of the flat and fast terrain at the scenic Georgina Spring Fling to cap off the weekend with a well-earned PODIUM FINISH!

RECENT MILESTONES 🗓️
We also want to shout out these incredible performances from earlier this spring:

ALICE 🌊
Conquered the SWIM MIAMI 10K in April! “I DID IT! That is without a doubt the most difficult physical challenge I have taken on and I feel so proud and so thankful for Team Atomica coaching and support.”

COACH RICARDO 🚴
Proving what “surviving by riding” looks like post-surgery! Ricardo recently completed both Ironman 70.3 Curitiba and the Paris to Ancaster Classic—even in the legendary P2A MUD! (see photo)

Whether it was a PB, a dream realized, or a hard-fought recovery race, we are so PROUD of this team.

Special congratulations to all of the Team Atomica athletes who crossed the finish line at the HISTORIC 2026 LONDON MARATHON last weekend!🇬🇧✨

Not only did these four friends and teammates conquer the course together, they officially became part of history as London broke the Guinness World Record for the LARGEST MARATHON EVER with over 59,000 finishers!

From Carolyn celebrating her 4th WORLD MAJOR star and the growth found in every kilometer, to Shauna utilizing cross-training in the pool to overcome a hamstring injury, these runners showed incredible resilience. Carol honored her UK roots with an all-British playlist and an ICONIC RUN over Tower Bridge, while Madalyn pushed through tough digestive hurdles to finish strong, proving that the best part of any race is the COMMUNITY you travel with.

We are so proud of your grit, your stars, and your “World Record” finishes! 🏅🏠🏃‍♀️
