There was a strong performance in the elite women's race from GB star Jessica Learmonth, from Allerton Bywater, who finished the swim - her strongest discipline - in second place and then gained the lead in the bike leg in a breakaway group including British team-mate Sophie Coldwell and Dutch athlete Maya Kingma. Kingma began the 10k run stage in first place with Learmonth and Coldwell close behind.
