\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLeanne Taylor, Canadian paratriathlete, talks to her son Oliver as she trains in their home in Oak Bluff, Manitoba on Thursday, May 7, 2026. Taylor has learned how to mother from her chair and is back to training as she prepares for a triathlon in Japan. THE CANADIAN PRESS\/John Woods<\/p>\n
\u201cI was pleasantly surprised. This whole year has been about taking a step back,\u201d said the 29-year-old Daniel. \u201cI\u2019ve been working, coaching and enjoying things out of triathlon. I am still very active, but I came in today not overly fit other than going for easy runs. I just wanted to have fun doing a triathlon, and I have always wanted to race Hamburg.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe podium was a stretch goal today. I wasn\u2019t expecting it at all,\u201d added Daniel. \u201cBeing healthy is so, so important and I know the fitness will come from that. I was just able to race a bit freer mentally. I had more fun with it and that goes a long way. I was in the front all the way so I\u2019m happy with that, but we\u2019ll continue to take things slow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Struggling to stay healthy over the last couple of years, Daniel\u2019s plan is to stay fresh and be prepared for a two-year charge to the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
\u201cI found some feet at the front of the swim. There was a group of four of us that came out of the water together. Schulz and I put some time on the guys on the bike,\u201d said Daniel, who has club hands.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe came off the bike together and I went with him for a lap but then held it back a little knowing I can\u2019t maintain this pace for long because I haven\u2019t put in the training.\u201d<\/p>\n
Canada\u2019s Paralympic bronze medallist Leanne Taylor continued her return to international racing after taking the 2025 season off to have her first child.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old from Oak Bluff, Man. finished just off the podium in fourth in the women\u2019s PTWC wheelchair race. Australia\u2019s Lauren Parker captured the gold medal in 1:03:57. Taylor\u2019s time was 1:08:37.<\/p>\n
Canada\u2019s mixed relay team of Desirae Ridenour of Cowichan Bay, B.C., Tyler Mislawchuk of Oak Bluff, Montreal\u2019s Isla Britton and Charles Paquet of Port-Cartier, Que., placed ninth.<\/p>\n
