London Triathlon highlights now up

The organisers of the 2013 Virgin Active London Triathlon have released video highlights of the event, which took place on 27th-28th July, showing celebrities such as Spice Girl Mel C in action.

With 13,000 participants this year, the event is well-recognised as the world's largest triathlon event, and saw an array of Olympians, elites, amateurs, celebrities and charity fundraisers competing over a range of distances from super sprint to Olympic distance plus.

Full television highlights were shown by UK broadcaster Channel 4 last Sunday (available on 4oD here), but here is a taster of the action:

Triathletes interested in entering for 2014 are being encouraged by the organisers to register at www.thelondontriathlon.com to gain access to an exclusive 48-hour entry window before the event goes on sale to the general public later this year.
