Wight Tri athletes, Dan Squirrell and Rob Webb, produced strong performances at the New Forest Triathlon, overcoming heat, hills, and interruptions.
Dan completed his first middle-distance event in 6h 10m 46s. He battled through a swim affected by the rising sun, a bike leg disrupted by wildlife, and a demanding two-lap run, to finish confidently.
Rob competed over the standard distance and finished in 2h 26m 10s after a smooth swim, controlled bike leg, and well-paced run.
His performance secured 16th place overall, and third in his age group.
