MYKA Heard and Rachael Fairclough have been two of St Helens Tri’s top ambassadors since the club’s inception in 2015 and as racing restarted around the country they led the way at the Chester Tri Bank Holiday Aquathlon and the Shropshire Triathlon.

In the Deva City Myka put in a storming run out of the water to claim second place in her age group.

Rachael followed up as she edged an epic duel at the Ellesmere event, pulling away on the run to place third overall in the sprint distance and win her age group by 81 seconds.

Meanwhile Eddie Hirst lined up at the Helvellyn Triathlon amongst a field of elite athletes and overcame the loss of his bike bottle to put in a storming run to the top of the mountain and finish one of the toughest triathlons in under four and a half hours.
