Five junior triathletes from Team Kennet competed at the Twyford Duathlon on the 12th of May.

Reuben Kuijten was our youngest competitor, and finished 13th in the Boys TriStars Start (8 years) age group, a great result considering a last-minute enforced bike change!

In the Girls Tristars 1 (9-10 years), Anna Hall was one of the youngest girls and had a great race, finishing in seventh place, showing very good pace on both of her runs.

We had three boys in the Tristars 1 (9-10) race, two strong runs helping Ethan Kuijten lead the way home in sixth place overall, followed by Harry Barnes in 26th and James Lake in 36th. 

It was great to see all Team Kennet competitors pushing themselves so hard and all finishing with a smile on their faces, the training must be paying off!
