Male elite winner Chris Perham sprinted to victory in a time of 1:35hrs, closely followed by Loughborough University teammates Matthew Wright, just 3secs behind and Morgan Davies, who followed shortly after to take the final podium place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chris said: \u201cThis is my first senior super series triathlon and it was certainly an unexpected win. I put the power down in the swim and stayed in the pack for the bike.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI came out of transition well so that meant there was a small group of us for the run which paid off \u2013 I\u2019m happy with that. Going into the race I hoped to get on the podium so I\u2019m really happy with the win. Next up is the 2015 Holten ETU Triathlon Premium European Cup.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s race<\/p>\n

Providing another competitive race, the women\u2019s elite title was taken by India Lee who timed 10:3mins on the swim, 33:36mins on the bike and a remarkable 20:18mins on the run to secure her victory ahead of WTS racer Sophie Coldwell and Natalie Milne. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The victory for India, trained by Richard Stannard, came on the back of 3rd place at the Antalya ETU Triathlon Cup and gaining qualification for the Rio test event race which will be in August but India \u201cwanted to prove she was in shape.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m absolutely delighted with the win today \u2013 especially being in the front pack for the swim, I\u2019m really pleased with that,\u201d she said afterwards. \u201cI\u2019ve been working on the swim so it was great that it gave me a good set up for the bike. Then I worked hard with Sophie (Coldwell) on the bike so I could finish off with a strong run. It\u2019s been a great day and I\u2019m really happy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
