Faye said: "I'm so pleased with how my season has gone, so to be invited to the awards, and receive two nominations has made the year even better. Both athletes that won the awards were absolutely inspirationaland thoroughly deserved them."

The evening gave our star athletes a chance to step back and recognise their achievements. Lizzy said: "It's always nice to get recognition for all the hard work that we put in. It was a great evening, and a good chance to catch up with everyone out of the competitive environment."

Faye said, very simply: "Triathlon is such an amazing sport, and I love being part of it."
