There were celebrations on the Long Course Weekend podium in Tenby on Sunday when the overall winners of the challenging three-day multi-sport event were announced.

Taking top spot was Wales and GB triathlete Liam Lloyd, who completed the three disciplines in a total time of 8.24.41.

Just under 14 minutes behind him was last year’s overall winner and another GB triathlete, Donald Brooks of the Torq triathlon club, with Oliver Whitby in third place.

The winner of the ladies event was Natalie Lawrence from Total Tri Training, Dorset, whose total time of 10.26.26 put her in eight place overall.

Second was Anna Lawson, in 10.40.08, with Emily Marchant third in 10.45.47, with both also achieving top 20 times.

More than 600 athletes tackled the Ironman-distance swim, bike and run courses but less than half completed all three to earn the coveted fourth piece of the Long Course Weekend medal jigsaw.

Amongst them was Tenby triathlete Finn Arentz, who was challenging Lloyd and Brooks for a podium place when a calf injury put him out of the marathon.

Luke Gething won the Long Course Weekend half distance in 5.11.02, with Jaden Morgan coming in as Junior Long Course Winner, ahead of Pembrokeshire Triathlon’s Harry Griffiths.
