Tri Belles

Happy International Women’s Day 💜🩵

Today we celebrate the strength, courage and spirit of women everywhere, especially the incredible women who make up our TriBelles community.

TriBelles has always been about more than swim, bike and run. It’s about connection, support and showing up for one another. Each of us comes to triathlon with a different “why”. Some of us Tri for health. Some for friendship. Some for strength, healing, confidence, or simply a moment of calm in busy lives. Our reasons may differ, but the journey brings us together.

This year, International Women’s Day arrives during a time that feels heavy for many of us. With uncertainty and conflict unfolding in the Middle East, it’s natural to feel worried, overwhelmed or distracted by events happening closer to home than we would like.

Please remember: you are not alone.

TriBelles has always been a space where women lift each other up - whether it’s cheering someone through their first open water swim, supporting a teammate at the start line, or simply listening when someone needs to talk.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, reach out. Post in the group. Message a training partner. Lean on this community.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is remind each other that we’re in this together.

Sport can also be a small but powerful anchor, a swim that clears the mind, a ride with friends that brings laughter, a run that reminds us of our strength.

Today we celebrate the women who show up: beginners, veterans, comeback stories, early risers, mothers, professionals, dreamers and fighters.

Until calmer days come, we keep showing up.
We keep supporting each other.
And we keep Tri-ing together.

Happy International Women’s Day to every incredible woman in this community 💜

This is the year we all start swimming right? See you Thursday!

💔 With heavy hearts…

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of our TriBelles sister and friend, Speedy (Adrienne), who passed away on the morning of 24th December in New Zealand, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Speedy lived exactly as she raced and trained; on her own terms, with grit, humour, and unwavering determination. She fought until the very end, surrounded by love, and stayed true to who she was in every moment.

She was more than an athlete.

More than a Tri Belle.

She was a force generous with her time, fierce in spirit, and endlessly supportive of those around her.

Speedy will always be part of the Tri Belles family. Her legacy will live on in our community, our friendships, and every finish line crossed with courage.

💙

Rest in peace, Speedy.

Forever a Tri Belle.
