Ellie Closes Her 2025 Triathlon Season with a Podium in Nantwich
Wirral Cycle Services’ sponsored rider, Ellie, brought her triathlon season to a strong close at the North West Sprint Triathlon in Nantwich, finishing as 2nd lady overall and setting a new course personal best.
Back to Where It All Began
For Ellie, Nantwich is more than just another race. It was the venue of her very first triathlon back in 2017. Returning this year provided the perfect moment to reflect on the journey from those early days of borrowed bikes and breaststroke swims to today’s polished podium performances.
Battling the Cold
Race morning was chilly, but dry — a welcome relief after forecasts had threatened wind and rain. The open-air swim left Ellie shivering as she headed out onto the bike course, but once she was settled onto her time-trial bike, the rhythm returned.
Thanks to a few midweek adjustments at Wirral Cycle Services, the bike was in top shape and carried her smoothly around the course. Even though she never quite warmed up, Ellie pushed hard through the 5k run and crossed the line with a run course PB.
A Season to Celebrate
This result marks the end of a standout 2025 triathlon season, one filled with PBs and podium finishes. Ellie’s consistency and determination have shone through at every race — and we’re proud to have supported her along the way.
Looking Ahead
With another successful season complete, Ellie already has her sights set on the next big challenge: stepping up to become an Ironman in 2026.
At Wirral Cycle Services, we’re thrilled to back her journey and can’t wait to see what she achieves next year.
