'achieves victory' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'steroids regularly maintaining uniform speed' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'maintaining' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'uniform' becomes 'U' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'speed' becomes 'mph' (miles per hour).
The alternate letters of 'steroids' are 'tris'.
'u'+'mph'='umph'
'tris' placed around 'umph' is 'TRIUMPHS'.

'with' is the link.
