Thousands of athletes have completed the incredible Weymouth Ironman event today.
Triathletes praised the crowds who ‘kept them going’ and encouraged them to get across the finish line.
First across the finish line was men’s winner Lewis Askey, whilst the women’s winner was crowned as Rachel Dumbrell.
The annual triathlon race, considered the ultimate one-day test of endurance, comprises three parts: a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile cycle and a 13.1-mile run.
