Grocock shrugged off the heat in her first triathlon of the season to win in 1hr 10mins, breaking the female record for the course.

It was a remarkable success for the athlete who was last on a bike at the European Duathlon Championships earlier this year when she suffered a fall.

After a good swim where she was held up a little, Grocock, who is sponsored by Britcon, ran the wrong way out of transition into the bike leg.

Her ride was very strong, however, shedding a minute off her time from the previous year.

She then ran the 5km in 20 minutes.

“It was a great end result, breaking the female record and winning the ladies’ race,” she said.
