City of Lancaster Triathlon’s Hannam then posted a time of 2:17.11 in the pool meaning she sat in third place overall.

Wet and windy conditions meant that the shooting and horseriding elements played a significant factor in the race outcome as Hannam ended the day in fifth position in a strong field.

Olympian Samantha Murray, from Clitheroe, led from start to finish as she made it two wins from two as she claimed victory.

Plymouth’s Kerenza Bryson took second and Stroud’s Zoe Davison’s third.

Emma Whitaker from Bolton-le-Sands was eighth in the Under 19 girls’ event having been second in the opening ranking event of the year.
