The tenth anniversary edition of IRONMAN Wales in Tenby saw a memorable race from the Professional Men.

Joe Skipper overcame a 20-minute stop due to a mechanical issue to not only win the the race, but set a course record in the process. It has certainly got plenty of people talking, especially finishing with a 2:37 marathon on such a difficult run course.

In this feature, we focus on the Age-Group athletes who excelled in Tenby.

Rigby and Saitch quickest in Tenby

There was a close race at the front of the men’s age-group field, where Tom Rigby (Tri Preston) finished just 1:48 quicker than Robert Fryer. James Williamson was third overall.

Tom finished third overall at IRONMAN UK last year, and was recently the quickest of the day at IRONMAN 70.3 Ireland, Cork.

On the women’s side, Hannah Saitch (35-39) was the quickest of the day in 10:47:38, just over three minutes ahead of Shawnie Lovatt (Off That Couch Fitness), with Hannah Munday (Tri Training Harder) rounding out the top three, all inside 11 hours.

No stranger to tough terrain, Hannah recently finished third at the Norseman Xtreme Triathlon.
