SARN Helen’s Emma Palfrey competed in the Sandman Triathlon, the penultimate race in the Welsh Triathlon Super Series.

The race started and finished in one of Anglesey’s most treasured spots, Newborough Forest, an expansive woodland area next to Traeth Llanddwyn.

Due to the sea conditions the swim had to be cancelled so it became a duathon instead.

Emma won her category by over two minutes and lies second overall in the series with the final race to be held in Llandudno.
