Yee 'energised' by marathon ahead of triathlon return

ALEX Yee is ready to throw himself back into triathlon - and hopes his London Marathon experience will make him a better athlete.

The Olympic and world champion took time out of his main sport in the spring to fulfil a lifelong ambition by racing around the streets of the capital, and his time of two hours, 11 minutes and eight seconds made him the second fastest British runner.

The effort he put in left him with peroneal tendinopathy, which causes pain and inflammation of tendons in the foot and ankle, in three places but he is now fully recovered and ready to dip his toe back into triathlon at today's Supertri League race in Toronto.

Yee told the PA news agency: "I feel energised, I feel in a really good place. I don't think that necessarily means I'm going to come back in and smash the scene up and be at the front, I'm well aware of that, but I think I've just come back with a really good frame of mind about the sport and about where I want to be and how I want to go about it and improve."
