Herridge posted the fastest female split times

Guernsey triathlete Sam Herridge recorded her first win in the female section triathlon this season with a 10th finish at Helston on 11 May.

Herridge finished in one hour, 12 minutes and 11 seconds, eight minutes ahead of her nearest rival in a field of more than 220 competitors.

She also posted the fastest split times for all three disciplines in the women's event.

Herridge said: "I was just pleased to be getting out there and racing again."

The sprint triathlon consisted of a 400m pool swim, a 16.5 mile cycle and a 3.5 mile cross-country run.

"This was my first event of the season after a fairly heavy period of training.

"It's been a long winter with plenty of rehabilitation training - but everything just felt really smooth and strong - a great confidence booster that everything, fingers crossed, seems to be going in the right direction and is working properly," Herridge added.
