Ben Price took the men's overall win at the Triathlon England Championships

Competitors started with a 10km run on the estate grounds before taking to the surrounding roads on the 44km bike course and then completing the course with a final 5km run lap that finished by Ashridge house.

Victoria Kenny (20-24) clocked a time of 2:20:09 to record the fastest female time of the day in what was her first ever duathlon and said "Coming from a cross country background I really enjoyed the run on the mixed terrain and it made a beautiful yet muddy leg. To take the win was fantastic and made training over Christmas - I ran a half marathon Christmas day - all worthwhile."

Ben Price (35-39) of Kinetic-One Wheels is much more established on the duathlon circuit having represented Great Britain as an elite over the middle distance duathlon at European Championships and took the men's overall race in a time of 2:03:23. Price commented on his race saying "I felt I had a solid race today. Having tried to open up a bit of a lead on run 1 and then extend it further on the bike I knew if I stayed strong from there I could secure the victory. The cycle today was tough but the run around the house and grounds was a really stunning setting, at what was a friendly, well managed and well marshalled event."
