The aptly-named event presented challenges for all participants due to the hilly nature of the course and choppy conditions in the sea.
The male winners were as follows:
- Adam Ward in a time of 1:04:27;
- Mike Millar, 1:08:09;
- Ryan Addison 1:09:15.
The female winners were:
- Kirsty Kee 1:17:00;
- Molly McLarnon 1:20:03;
- Sabrina McLaughlin 1:20:55.
The triathlon is organised and run by Hi Elbow Triathlon Club, which was formed in 1998 and covers the Antrim, Ballyclare, Carrickfergus and Larne areas.
