ITU World Triathlon Championships

1 October 2016

Craig and Sarah Sutton travelled to Cozumel, Mexico to represent the GB age-group team in the ITU World Triathlon Championships. Racing in temperatures of 35 degrees with 90% humidity, they competed in the Sprint Distance event with Craig finishing 24th out of 86 and Sarah 18th out of 59. It was an incredible experience to race with top level triathletes from all over the World and also to have the opportunity to see the dramatic unfolding of the elite men’s race with Alistair Brownlee carrying his brother Jonny, suffering with heat exhaustion, over the finishing line.
