Britain’s Bella Comerford and Stephen Bayliss, continued their excellent year of competition with victories at Ironman UK in Sherborne, Dorset on Sunday.

Bayliss exited the swim just behind Scotland’s Fraser Cartmell, and despite coming under pressure on the bike was able to pull away on the run to register a comfortable victory over last year’s champion, Scott Neyedli. Cartmell retired towards the end of the run whilst Austria’s Andrea di Bernardo took third.

After a steady swim last year’s women’s champion, Comerford, chased down the leaders on the cycle before opening up a large margin and stormed to victory by 35 minutes ahead of Germany’s Heiki Funk.

Well done to all those who participated and achieved the status of ‘Ironman’, as well as a huge thank you to the army of volunteers that make Ironman UK such a success.
