Well, the official results of the sea swim have just been published. My official time was 16:25, I came 11th overall, and 4th in my age group. So that guy who I beat out of the water but who out-sprinted me to the line came third and got a prize. If only I’d known I was going that well. Still, I’m pretty happy with that ;-)

John was listed as last in 27:50, but that’s crap, since we went back to the car, got changed into civvies and walked back down to the beach to witness someone finishing. Also, I timed my swim at 17:14, so there’s no way I’m suddenly a minute faster.

Update: Turns out they’d forgotten to put quite a few people up on the web site, so there’s now about 25 people behind John, some by over to 10mins.
