The European Triathlon Championships have their own coverage, the age group news is here, the Saturday elite races are here, so this part of the roundup will be focussing on the domestic racing from the weekend.

First up with a full set of results was the Waveney Valley Triathlon and the winners here were Matthew Ellis (Tri Anglia) in 0:50:14 and Nicola McIvor (UEA Tri Club) in 0:57:45. A full set of results is online here.

Tri247's John Levison snuck out for a bit of racing at his local Hatch End Triathlon and reports that the event went off in perfect, sunny conditions with the three-lap bike, three-lap run meant plenty of spectator viewpoints, and chances to size up (or be seen) by your competitors. The mens winner was a junior, Joe Giggins (East Essex Tri), while the ladies winner was Suzanne Hopper (Hillingdon Triathletes). We don't have times or a full set of results yet.

Black Sheep may well live in the Forest of Dean (sorry Trev...) but they do get the results in quick! The Lydney Triathlon saw its third outing in lovely weather conditions and the winners were Julian Hatcher (AVS Tri) in 0:54:41 and Deborah Evans in 1:05:34. A full set of results is here.

Exeter Tri Club put on its Exe Valley Sprint and Novice races at the Tiverton Leisure Centre in weather conditions that bore no resemblence to those of a year ago (it was chucking it down that time) with scorching results to match. The main race was won by Peter Freedman in 0:58:59 and Sue Walker in 1:12:49, a full set of results is here. In the novice race the honours went to Steven Bauress in 0:54:34 and Kate Stamp 1:00:45, full results are here.

We don't expect to see a full set of results from the Helston Triathlon until Monday, council-run websites tend not to be updated at weekends, but the organisers did send through the top three athletes in the various categories. Overall winners were Rich Brady (Tri-Monkey) in 1:05:45 and Sam Herridge (Total Fitness Bath) in 1:12:11. for other category winners see the temporary results page here - it will be replaced with a full set as soon as we have them.

Concept Sport's Fast Twitch Series pulled into Dorchester for the second race of the summer. Winners here were Peter Younghusband (Tri-UK/Gatorade) in 1:03:30 and Tracy Cook (North Dorset Tri/Tri-UK) in 1:11:51. A provisional set of results is here.

There's something slightly odd about the Alnwick Tri results - everyone is classified as male and the only obviously female name is a Maureen... We suspect that something has been filtered in the processing! The overall winner was Haydn Maughan (Ryton Tri) in 1:0:03 and we'll wait for confirmation before naming a female winner. The draft results are here.

The BSLT series race at Selkirk was won by a junior athlete, Graham Scobie, in 1:00:13 with the Eleanore Haresign the first woman home in 1:08:40. A full set of results are here.

The Furzefield Triathlon saw wins by Michael Bridge (FVS Tri) in 1:01:10 and Leigh Harvey (Shorter Rochford RT) in 1:12:29. A full set of results are here.

It may have been the last running of the Harlech Triathlon (if the local Council get their way and sell off the pool's land to a developer - see the club's website for a petition to try to stop them) and over 300 people turned out to race. The overall winner was Adam Thomson (Primera) in 1:16:45 with Rhian Roxburgh (Carneddau Tri) the fastest woman in 1:21:26. A full set of results is here.

The Basildon Off-Road Triathlon was won by Nathan Miller (53-12) in 0:38:04 and Heather Storey in 0:50:02. Full results are here and also include the Essex Police Championship results at the bottom of the table.

A good morning in the sun for the Thames Turbo/Sigma Sport team at the Morden 6n6 Aquathlon where James Lock took the overall win in 0:40:03 and Esther Evans was the joint first female with Helen Mussen (Serpentine) in 0:45:17. Both male and female winners appear to have broken the standing course records. A full set of results is here.

The smallest, but still perfectly formed, set of results came from the Stromness Mini Triathlon where Torquil Clyde finished first in 0:36:25 with Beccy May the ladies winner in 0:44:11. Full results are here.

Domestic racing on Saturday took the form of the OWS Aquathlon at Liquid Leisure's lake in Datchet where an astonishing 300 people turned up to swim. Not all raced (thank goodness!) and the 44-strong field was won by junior Harry Smith in 0:27:34 with the fastest woman being Carin Hume in 0:33:40. Full results are here.
