This was highlighted by the fact that less experienced competitors were able to take advantage of short-cut options built into the route.
Paul Bush OBE, VisitScotland’s director of events, said: “The Hebridean islands present a varied but always stunningly scenic landscape, making them the perfect stage for a multi-disciplne event.
“We are delighted to support The Heb through EventScotland’s National Funding Programme in its inaugural year.”
