With two Terrapins registered for the 10\u202fkm and six for the half\u2011marathon, the tribe cheerfully took over the courses winding around the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terrapin Highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10 km Race:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Claudine and Anne\u2011Sophie, after a short bus ride to reach the starting line, both delivered strong performances and quickly made their way back to their point of origin \u2014 which had magically transformed into their finish line. Still following?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Half\u2011Marathon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Titouan, our honorary Terrapin of the day (and Claudine\u2019s son), proved that age is no barrier to shining, he completed the distance in under 105 minutes. Youth is a beautiful thing\u2026 especially when it runs fast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u202fLyne, a part\u2011time Terrapin whose work shifts at the Sutton gym seem, by some cosmic mystery, fall exactly at the same time as the Terrapins\u2019 group runs, completed her very first half\u2011marathon with flair. An even more impressive feat considering she rarely gets the chance to train with the group. Bravo to Lyne, who proves that you can run 21.1\u202fkm with determination\u2026 even if you miss the official team picture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lisa is now officially a veteran of the semi\u2011mythical distance, having completed her second half\u2011marathon. As a bonus, she earned herself a personal best. Kudos!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Silke, already a veteran with her third half\u2011marathon, bravely took on the race without having fully recovered from a nasty virus. Double Kudos!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gilles, our vice\u2011dean and captain, added yet another half\u2011marathon to his r\u00e9sum\u00e9, despite one knee in a brace and the other decorated with a mysterious blue tape. That\u2019s the Terrapin spirit: keep moving, no matter where the tape is.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Andr\u00e9, for his part, attempted to turn the clock back a good ten years by aiming for a sub\u2011two\u2011hour finish. He missed the mark by just a few seconds \u2014 the kind of seconds invented solely to annoy runners. But he was still happy to be able to race in a field younger than him!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Finally\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A big thank\u2011you to Gilles and Ulrich, our drivers for the day. Ulrich, Silke\u2019s dedicated partner, embodied Terrapin resilience by standing in the rain for hours to cheer and photograph everyone at the finish line. Thank you, Ulrich \u2014 you almost deserve a medal\u2026 or at the very least an official Terrapin umbrella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"599\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1181\" src=\"https:\/\/terrapins.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Photo-1-2-599x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1181\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"957\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1183\" src=\"https:\/\/terrapins.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Photo-2-5-957x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1183\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"729\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1177\" src=\"https:\/\/terrapins.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Photo-4-2-729x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1177\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"433\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1176\" src=\"https:\/\/terrapins.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Photo-3-2-433x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1176\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1179\" src=\"https:\/\/terrapins.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Photo-7-4-649x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1179\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"813\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1182\" src=\"https:\/\/terrapins.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Photo-6-2-813x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1182\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"857\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1180\" src=\"https:\/\/terrapins.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Photo-5-2-857x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1180\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"594\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1178\" src=\"https:\/\/terrapins.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Photo-8-2-594x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1178\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"441\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1175\" src=\"https:\/\/terrapins.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Photo-9-3-441x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"697\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1174\" src=\"https:\/\/terrapins.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Photo-10-1-697x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1174\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under a sometimes-generous rainfall, the Terrapins were genuinely like turtles in water during the 2026 edition of the Tour du Lac Brome, held in the charming village of Knowlton on Sunday, June 14.
