The 70.3 middle-distance triathlon took place over a stunning course which covered a 1.2-mile swim in the Oriental Lake at Holkham Hall, a 56-mile bike course, taking in the coastal road and a 13.1-mile undulating run around the estate.

A total of 14 Sleaford club members, ranging from first-time middle-distance triathletes to veterans, achieved top results with Seamus Sheard, Keely McNiffe and Ellie Pocock all on the podium in their age categories.
