Everyone has a story.......

Kensal Rise's Zute Lightfoot has made the following beautiful video of Ellie Southwood and Sophie Barnard's training for Blenheim Palace Triathlon with Kensal Tri....... 

​

In this, Ellie - who is blind and doing her first Triathlon - talks about the challenge and how cycling and swimming in particular will be difficult.

​

Her guide, Sophie, is also doing her first swims tethered to someone and this has also been her first time on a tandem bike.

​

Sophie also talks about her apprehensions at first - she is not a trained Tri coach - but the many joys of being a Guide and making this sort of adventure possible for others. 

​

They are part of a team of 154 Kensal Rise neighbours taking part at Blenheim and, as Ellie summarises, "everyone has their own story".

​

The goal of Kensal Tri is to bring as many people together as possible across the communit.

 

The free & discounted local exercise - and entry into sporty events - continues throughout the year.
