Buoyed by the glorious British weather, the crowds came out in force today to cheer on their hometown hero, Jonny Brownlee; the sole Brownlee racing as brother Alistair pulled out a week ago with an Achilles injury.

Hoping to spoil the crowd’s day was one of the strongest fields we’ve seen all season, including Commonwealth victor Henri Schoeman (RSA), Series leader Mario Mola, bike supremo Kristian Blummenfelt of Norway and the consistently swift runner Richard Murray.

Sticking to the well-worn script, Richard Varga was first out of the 1.5km swim, pulling in a group of 12, which included Brownlee and Schoeman.
