Results are out. We were coming 5th in our class when I started my leg, I overtook one person in our class before having to stop & turn & swim & flip etc, so we were back to 5th, then near the end I caught the person who started out in third, and then just got in front of the person I'd already overtaken again (they finished 4th, 12 seconds behind). He said to me afterwards that he was absolutely busting his gut to hang with me so I'm happy about that as it was really only in the final few hundred metres that I managed to pass him again. He had the same model boat as me so boat speed wasn't a factor. If I hadn't had the steering issue we may or may not have come 2nd but then the whole experience would have been a whole lot less eventful !
