In the aquathlon (1k swim, 5k run), GB newcomer Ben Smith (senior 25-29) claimed sixth while Suze McQuie (FV45-49) finished tenth in her category.
The middle-distance triathlon championship (1.9k swim, 86k bike, 21k run) saw Marianne Carpenter (FV 50-54) miss the podium by a mere 16 seconds to finish fourth in five hours 13 minutes.
She said: “The bike course was really testing, with a lot of hills and some technical switchback descents, but the crowd support on the final half-marathon through the Old City was incredible”
Club chairman Graham Oak (Vet 60-64) placed 23rd in 5:57.
