Emma-Kate Lidbury is a true star of British middle distance racing and further cemented this opinion by defending her first Ironman 70.3 title here in Mallorca. Lidbury led pretty much the whole way to take the title in a time of 4:39:05. The other stunning news of note was the performance of British age-grouper, Georgie Rutherford who came 6th overall.
The men’s race headlines will be dominated by the news that Raelert turned up and smashed the field in a time of 3:57:08. The first British male through the line was Jon Hotchkiss, in 14th.
Read on to find out how Emma-Kate Lidbury, Tamsin Lewis, Jon Hotchkiss, Ben Howard, Mark Threlfall and Alun Woodward fared in Mallorca.
Weekend Preview: Ironman Mallorca 70.3 and Swashbuckler
The big race on the international circuit is Ironman Mallorca 70.3 - which features some of the best European middle distance triathletes - as well as plenty of British stars.
On domestic shores is The Swashbuckler, a middle distance triathlon in the New Forest - the perfect preperation for those tackling Forestman later this year.
Tamsin Lewis out injured for 2-3 months
Dr Tamsin Lewis, who has been struggling with a run-related injury all year, has today revealed that what she had been told was a peroneal muscular tear is in fact a fibular stress fracture.
The news means that she will not be able to do any weight bearing excersize for three weeks and will not be racing again until late July and possible early August.
The diagnosis makes her performance at Tristar Mallorca, where she came 2nd, even more impressive.
Tamsin Lewis withdraws from Ironman St Croix 70.3
Dr Tamsin Lewis has today announced that she has withdrawn from Ironman St Croix 70.3, taking place on the 6th May.
Lewis has been struggling with a run injury but had managed to take 2nd at the recent Tristar race in Mallorca. The extra miles of an Ironman 70.3 and the effects of that performance have been enough to persuade Lewis to withdraw - and she tweeted that she hasn’t been able to run since that race.
The race is in the news today as Lance Armstrong has added it to its schedule.
British triathletes dominate at Tristar Mallorca
Sounds like there was some amazing racing going on at Tristar Mallorca - with the big results going to some of the British Middle distance stars - and one name flew straight under the radar to take 2nd in the men’s race.

Dr Tamsin Lewis is racing Tristar Mallorca
After a will-she-wont-she debate on Twitter, Dr Tamsin Lewis has confirmed today that she will definitely be racing tomorrow at Tristar Mallorca.
Lewis, who came 2nd last year, had previously indicated that she was unsure whether she would be able to race at all, considering she has suffered for 8 weeks with a running injury, caused by peroneal brevis.
She tweeted:
1st race of the season coming up. No running for 4weeks so it’ll be interesting! Bring on the @ Portocolom
Whilst coming back from injury will no doubt prove challenging for Lewis, she will at least be able to reflect that at least the run leg here is 10k and as such the race is usually settled on the 100k bike leg.
Dr Tamsin Lewis will also have one eye on her “A” race at Ironman St Croix 70.3 later in the year.
