UPDATE: We now have over half the age group results in a form that's useable - the more 'senior' men still have to be uploaded but we've lobbed what we have onto the site for you, more to follow ASAP.

After the full-on media coverage and live timing of Saturday's elite races you could be forgiven for thinking that the age group races had been cancelled! No updates on the ITU website, no results, just radio silence. Our only source of information was Scott Murray, the GB Age Group Team Manager, who sent us this as the last in a series of reports from Lisbon:

A great day’s racing here for the GB age group athletes; Team GB had 157 athletes out of the 998 on the start list. The swim was an 'M' shape with four 180° turns, the bike was a two-lap affair with few technical aspects to it other than a short cobblestone section and a long drag on the bike, it was slightly long but thankfully the weather was mainly fine and the showers that did come didn’t cause the AG athletes the problems it had for the previous day’s events. An out-and-back, two-lap run course showed the strength in depth of the GB team as it seemed no matter where you looked you could see red, white and blue kit. So, how did we do?

Female athletes: 25-29: Gold to Emma-Kate Lidbury, Silver to Jacquie Slack and four top ten finishers. Emma was the overall race winner in a time of 2:14:55. 35-39: Silver to Shona Forrest, Bronze to Lisa Greenfield and four top ten finishers. 40-44: five top ten finishers. 45-49: Gold to Juliet Vickery, Bronze to Jo Crotch and eight top ten finishers. 50-54: Silver to Liz Clegg, Bronze to Julie Williams and four top ten finishers. 55-59: Bronze to Rani Sinniah. 65-69: Gold to Carol Killick.

Male athletes: 18-19: Bronze to James Sedgewick, two top ten finishers. 20-24: Bronze to Phillip Fishwick. 25-29: Gold to Alex Lewis. 30-34: Gold to Chris Stuart, Silver to Richard Legge, five top ten finishers. 35-39: Gold to Richard Wilder, Silver to Euan Lees, three top ten finishers. 40-44: One top ten finisher. 45-49: One top ten finisher. 50-54: One top ten finisher. 55-59: Bronze to Dave Pratten, four top ten finishers. 60-64: Bronze to Michael Smallwood, six top ten finishers. 65-69: Two top ten finishers. 70-74: Bronze to Arnott Kidd. 75-79: Gold to Peter Howard. AWAD Dave Corrigan finished top 10. In the open Sprint race Gold to Paula Caplan (not ETU).

Seven golds, five silvers, seven bronzes and 54 top ten finishes in total – not a bad day at the office!! The athletes raced as hard as they could and the family and friends out as support crew really cheered them on. As team manager it is always humbling to see so many athletes realise their dreams and race for Great Britain at a championship event.
