2018 Eton Dorney ITU Paratriathlon World Cup

There was a very strong show of British Paralympians, UK Sport Lottery Funded programme athletes and talent squad members as the ITU World Cup visited Eton Dorney for the first time.

IRONMAN Lanzarote

A last-minute decision to race IRONMAN Lanzarote paid off for Lucy Gossage. She set up victory on the mountain section of the bike course around Mirador Del Rio and stretched her lead a little more over the run to record her second win in Lanzarote and tenth career IRONMAN win.

Age-Group athlete Simone Mitchell ran through to take second overall, just five minutes behind Gossage. Mitchell also posted the second fastest female marathon split out across all categories. Fellow Brit athlete Nikki Bartlett was third in the Pro event. Full results can be found here.
