Onto the run I felt really strong, pushing really well. So I\u2019m really happy with the performance for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the strongest categories for the GB squad is the women\u2019s PT4, where in London the reigning world and European champ, Lauren Steadman, continued her dominance at the head of the close-run category.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy, it was good enough,\u201d said Steadman. \u201cI was disappointed with the swim, I got caught with somebody and it just annoyed me, but I had the bike and run so it\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rounding out the GB medal haul was Claire Cunningham who took PT4 silver, Iain Dawson with PT5 bronze and Lizzie Tench for PT1 silver.<\/p>\n<p>    Advertisement<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>PHOTO CREDIT: Ross Grieve\/DGT<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fielding a small team for the London ITU World Paratrithlon event, Team GB were once again big in the medal tally table.
