Those competing in the novice category had to endure a 200m swim in the pool, a 11km cycle before running 2.5km to the finish line. The sprint course was exactly twice as long as the novice course.

The event got underway at around 8 o’clock in the morning, with competitors setting off every five minutes in the pool.

The sprint event was won by 20-year-old Kieran Hill in a time of 1 hour 1 minute and 33 seconds. He said: “It was a good win, it was a bit chilly on the bike, I couldn’t feel my feet as I came off into transition. With the rain coming down the run to the finish was a bit slippy but it wasn’t too bad. “

Graham Steinsberg, 58, was competing in his first triathlon in aid of CLIC Sargent: “My daughter had cancer at the age of 12 and we have raised £11,000 just for this event in two months. Today was really good fun, would I do another triathlon though? You’d have to ask me tomorrow!” 

Jonathan Nortcott, 34, said: “It wasn’t so bad actually, I think I prepared for the worst because I was expecting torrential downpour. But to have it pretty dry on the course makes it much easier. So it’s nice to finish and enjoy an Easter egg!”
