Yesterday's Newry City Triathlon was a tremendous success in it's very first year with local man Barry Convery from Newry Triathlon Club impressively coming in at the head of the pack ahead of former all Ireland junior Triathlon and Duathlon champion Aaron Deane in second and Irish Ironman record holder Liam Dolan in third.
The Triathlon was part of the Newry Festival of Water.
The race took in a 750 Metre Swim a 20km Cycle finishing with a 5km run and Barry completed the Triathlon in 1:01:22 with an 11:35 time for his swim, 30:03 for his cycle and 17:32 for his run.
Taking place at the Albert Basin including a circuit around the city streets it made full use of Newry's natural beauty and no doubt will be a major contender in years to come.
Also taking part were Conor Murphy MP and Photographer Peter Clarke competed as part of a team.
