Despite having to change format to a duathlon at the last minute due to the water quality in Petworth Park Lake, the first Brownlee Tri South welcomed over 700 athletes including Dame Kelly Holmes to West Sussex last weekend.
Alistair and Jonny Brownlee took part in the team relay event, which consisted of a 2km run, 29.5km bike then a final 5km run, and was won by the Physio Fitness and Wellbeing Race team with a time of 1:07:52. Dame Kelly Holmes’ team came 5th with a time of 1:22:50. Alistair Brownlee’s team came 11th at 1:31:59 and Jonny Brownlee’s came 17th with a time of 1:40:22.
