It was the third race of the series and Jarvis won by almost 2 minutes after a superfast run.

First out of the water was Chris Pithey, closely followed by Simon Guerin and Max Daniels, whilst Sophie Robotham was next out leading for the ladies.

Guerin took the lead with the fastest bike split and came in 30 seconds ahead of Pithey, with Chris Elder a further minute behind, as Jarvis moved up to fourth place, 1:48 in arrears.

But a speedy run from Jarvus soon saw him blast to the front in imperious style, as he took the tape by 1:45 minutes with Guerin second and Elder third. Pithey finished fourth.

Robotham came in 7th overall and first lady, as she continues her improvement. She recorded a personal best (PB) in all 3 disciplines.
