Many thanks to all of you for your nominations for the August, Tri247 Gatorade Athlete of the Month award. Another great response, with some fantastic suggestions, stories and performances.

Our winner for August is Hywel Davies, who took 'going long' and fast to a new level, managing to win the Enduroman Double Iron event and a sprint triathlon, in the same month - on top of an already successful season. Read the full article about Hywel HERE, along with our honourable mentions for those who were in the final shortlist for selection.

Do you know anyone who deserves this award? If so, tell us! As always, we'd love to here from you. With the September now complete, we've got our eyes and ears open already for our next winner. Get in touch with us on [email protected] and tell us who you would like us to recognise and why.

Remember - you don't need to be at the front of the field to catch our eye. Our choice may be based on one, or perhaps a combination of factors including:

• Outstanding performance at one race,
• Consistent performances over a number of events,
• Recognition of an athletes efforts over many months, years…or even decades in some cases!
• Overcoming setbacks, challenges or obstacles.
