Jean-François of Magog, is a seasoned sportsman. In the early 90s, he participated in triathlons in Quebec and the United States.

It was in 2013 that he got the urge and he plunged into the world of Ironman long-distance triathlons. Since then, he has participated in 7 half-Ironman events and in 2015, as a gift for his 40th birthday, he participated in the Mont-Tremblant Ironman Triathlon: 3.8km of swimming, 180km of cycling and a marathon of 42.2km !

In 2015, he ranked 10th among all 40-year-old men at the Canadian half-Ironman distance. And on the Ironman distance, he is one of the 10% fastest men in his age group making him an “All World Bronze Athlete”. A dream of his is to participate in the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii in a few years.

His results motivated him to continue his efforts in the year 2016 with an Ironman in Lake Placid and two other half-Ironman on the program, in addition to preparation events and many hours of preparation training in the pool or lake, cycling, and of course  in his running shoes.

On a personal level, Jean-François is a known personality in the region, he inspires many young people (and not so young!) to take personal challenges, among others, through his work as a teacher at La Ruche High school. He is the father of three children and the spouse of a gold supporter!
