It was only the second time that the now annual event has been held and many hundreds of people lined the route to cheer on the competitors.
Last year's triathlon was one of the highlights of the City of Culture sports programme, and the race director Paul McGilloway said he was "delighted" with the support shown for it again this year.
"We had a great turnout of participants and enthusiasts who crowded the streets to cheer on our competitors," he said.
"I would like to congratulate everyone who took part in this year's gruelling challenge. So much training and work goes into preparations for race day that crossing the finish line is an achievement in itself, regardless of the time it takes."
He added: "We would like to thank each and every person who helped out over the last few months, weeks and days to make the race such a great success.
"The conditions were perfect for racing and everything went like clockwork, mainly due to the large amount of helpers and marshals who turned out to lend a hand. We could not have done it without them."
