Kingswood Triathlon Club (KIT), Bristol has been around since the mid 80�s racing at all distances, and has had competitors in Long Course/Ironman distance events in the UK and abroad (including Hawaii ) during that time.
The club has consolidated its non-elitist, all inclusive membership ethos over the past few years with growing numbers competing in Frankfurt IM in both 2005 and 2007. 2009 sees the club achieving its all time record high of 45 athletes pre entered into IM Austria, ranging from newbies through to 30+ IM finishes.
The club encompasses a wide range of abilities from Novices to Age Groupers with a wealth of knowledge and experience.�
Formal training consists of weekly swim sessions at Kingswood Leisure Centre on a Thursday night from 19:30, Coached by James Eastwood (ASA/BT coach).� Other bike, turbo, run sessions and open water and pool swimming and general training support take place at various times over the week.� Other coaching and motivation is supplied by the club chairman, Richard James.
In the spring and summer some of the club cycle 40 miles to a South Cerney for a 1 hr open water secession, then cycle back followed by up to a 20 mile run along the Bristol to Bath cycle path! not for the faint hearted. This cycle path contributes a major part of our training both running and biking and not forgetting our joint Christmas Fun run with Bitton Road Runners.� We endeavor to keep fit during the winter competing in multi terrain run and mountain bike events such as Sodbury Slog, Dursley Dozen, Salisbury Challenge and Polaris.
