It was a huge weekend on the WTC circuit and most of the headlines were written at Ironman Lanzarote – namely Graves suicide drive on the bike and the Bayliss’ demonstrating the perfectly paced Ironman to take double podiums.
Lanzarote wasn’t the only race though and British Isles triathletes were performing at Ironman Texas, Columbia, the ITU World Cross Tri World Championships and much more.

Ironman Lanzarote promised to be a cracker and it delivered. British pro racers played a massive part in this classic version of the Ironman race and many played their parts in today’s drama.

Both claimed second in their respective categories, with perhaps Bella grabbing more of the headlines being as it was her first race at this distance for over a year.
Read on to find out the results of Ironman Lanzarote and how all our racers from the British Isles did.
