Grantham Tri - Wet wet and oh yeah wet

Well that was an interesting day, the wettest and coldest tri I've ever done. Very windy, torrential rain and just 5 degrees. Seen a few people with support staff being treated for cold, tough day at the office and definitely one for the brave few willing to race no matter what, only 81 finishers. Had the Ironman legend Mat Stephenson in the same wave and the lane next to me in the pool, he swam 20 seconds quicker but I biked faster and ran faster to beat Mat by 51 seconds, I finished in 3rd overall and 1st in my age group so a good day really. Only question is when will the weather improve? 3rd tri of the year and been bloody cold at all of them!
