On Sunday it was the Titanic Triathlon in centre of Belfast where BCC’s European Duathlon champion Sonia Knox was lining along with team mate Graeme Morrison to take the action into the second day of this already highly successful week. Sonia in the sprint event and Graeme doing the standard challenge.

The sprint distance saw a field of 188 starters and the standard event where Graeme was in action had 447 starters. The members of BCC would like to congratulate Sonia and Claire on their inspirational victories and on behalf of our youth racers who want to give a triathlon a go -”Well done!”
