We’ve previously profiled the fast-growing Ayia Napa Triathlon (www.ayianapatriathlon.com) on the site, an early season race which given the wind and rain where I was this past weekend in the UK, looks set to grow and grow. If some early season sun is on your ‘to do’ list, then this Cyprus destination should be on your triathlon short-list for 2020.

The event offers Sprint, Olympic and Middle Distance options (for individuals and teams), and on Sunday British Pro Chantal Cummings, a member of the ETE Racing Team, was back racing over the Middle Distance, in a race she finished third at 12 months ago.

12 minutes faster and two places higher, she topped the podium this year, with team mate and fellow Brit, Claire Weller (a very close second at the Outlaw Half Holkham last year), finishing as runner-up.

Here, Chantal reports back for us on “a great race for anyone looking for an early season event.” Read the full report on Tri247 here.
