The long distance course involves a 3km sea swim, a 116km bike ride followed by a 30km run.
The swim involved a rough swim around an island followed by a hilly rolling and scenic bike ride, finishing with the run which involved involved scaling the steep steps of the Citadel.Stewart felt that the limited supply of cola and bananas may have slowed him as he finished about 15 minutes off his hoped for time, finishing in 19th place in 7hr 9min 51sec.However Stewart described the event as a real highlight as he thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many friendly professional athletes, and he loved racing in Great Britain colours on Coronation weekend.
