Triathlon take place.
A cold and windy, overcast day was presented to the record field of 170 athletes. The race started promptly at 0900 and the competitors swam 750m in Hayle Copperhouse Pool. First out of the water was Neil Eddy of MBH in a time of 9:13 closely followed by Kyle Keary of MBH. The cycle route was an "out and back" course from Hayle to Leedstown covering a distance of 21.5km. One of the early race leaders Kyle Kearey of MBH lost momentum due to a fall.
