FEMALES IN TRAINING (FIT)

What is FIT?

Females in Training (FIT) is a group for women, of all abilities, enjoying safe, non-competitive training in a supportive atmosphere. The group provides training sessions, coaching, advice and regular get-togethers for women with similar interests.

Our main focus is on the three triathlon disciplines of swimming, running and cycling. We have accredited coaches in all three areas who can provide advice and training programs for beginners and novices through to an advanced level. We are particularly interested in providing support for women who are commencing or recommencing their involvement in physical activity.

Location of FIT

Females in Training is located in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia.

Think Tank for FIT Directions

The FIT Committee invites input from the membership on directions for FIT. Come and join us for an opportunity to contribute your ideas on Sunday, 12 July. FIT has been fortunate to gain some financial support for this initiative and has been able to secure the services of a facilitator experienced in assisting the Sport and Recreation community in focusing their energies on Strategic thinking.

The morning session will be open to the full membership. Participants are all invited to stay for lunch (provided) with the Committee who will be staying on for the long haul to translate the ideas into a plan for action.

Where : Ainslie Football Club
When : 10 am - 12.30pm

Sunday morning cycling - Ride your winter blues away

Sundays at 8.00am meeting at Debacle in Braddon.
The Big Picture is as follows: The rides will commence at Debacle on Lonsdale Street and finish at the same spot for us to enjoy a nice breaky or hot drink. Our rides will start out with a 60 min easy ride and over the following 5 months will increase to a hunger building 3 hours. Our aim is to give you all a good base to have a shot at the Sydney to Wollongong bike ride which is on Sunday 1 November. We also have the Tour de Femme as a great goal in early November. We also have a weekend ride to Goulburn planned for the last weekend in August and are looking at a few other day rides over the later days of winter. All of which involve food, caffeine, chocolate and probably some alcohol on occasion.

We would like to invite FIT members along on these rides as well as their partners. We will have a dedicated support person from our club each week who will go over the route before we start and stay with the last rider. These rides are for all abilities and not a race!! For those who want to extend the time and distance, you can always ride in to the start. As our rides get longer along with day light hours, we will bring the start time forward, to ensure we get back for some nice tucker. Looking forward to catching up with you all and meeting some of your partners. To help us plan ahead and think about the routes we will take according to our numbers, could you please just flick Caroline an email at healthyfood@mac.com

Schedule of Wednesday 6am rides (27 May - 8 July 2009)

The Wednesday morning rides are uncoached and leave from the West Block car park at 6 am each Wednesday. This is a fast-paced ride and you need to be comfortable with bunch riding and able to find your own way back if you lose the bunch. For more training sessions and info click here!
