Taking on the 1.8k swim, 56mile bike and half marathon, Bayliss gave an exceptional performance at this late season race.

The unique location made use of the Bahrain International Circuit, home of Bahrain Grand Prix Formula One racing, for the bike-to-run transition area.

He stopped the clock on five hours and four minutes.
