it was a pretty wet day! but the rain did stop as we started!  I think the run course was changed slightly because of the wet grass slope, there was a couple of corners that were getting pretty slippy on the runs and i had fairly flat trainers!

the bike ride was as expected, I dont think the rain/wet effected this much, not at the speeds i was going anyway! maybe the faster riders may have had to be cautious!

the local support was non existent as you have to pay to get into bowood, and it wasnt the best day to do this!  you can watch the bike laps for free from the car park but there wasnt much of this.

racking of bikes seemed quite tight compared to when I did the triathlon at bowood previously, my section was pretty much touching handlebars

well organised and fun though.
