Time/Position: 43.58 (13th from 100 [1st V50])
A tropical deluge made this more memorable than expected, strangely echoing the last time I did the race a few years ago, when heavy summer rain rendered the start a bit of a quagmire. This time I was handicapped by snapped elastic on an old pair of shorts, meaning I had to hold them up like a soiled nappy. This was really annoying, to the point that I couldn't really open up (although it is an unusably stupid excuse). I felt fairly good, and wasn't too far down on previous times for the race, despite the wet nappy. Some good competition, although I was beaten by faster finishers before the finale on Beacon Hill above Frodsham.
