Worthing Triathlon gets glorious weather

BRILLIANT sunshine and calm water awaited the Worthing Triathlon at 7am on Sunday morning - and stayed the distance.

The titles went to Colin Dixon of Hayling Island and Felicity Hart of Grantham in Lincolnshire after the 1,500m sea swim, the 43k bike ride and the 10k run. They headed the field of 350.

Anthony Gritton of Lancing headed the local competitors in 12th place. He is a new European age group champion.
