What happened to the weather? Started off so nice! Then I got super WET and COLD!
Well that cycle was hard going! For first 20 miles or so, the could not have been better!! Well for time of year anyway! The sun was out, and it was around 11C. Then With around 9 miles to go, the rain started! It was very cold rain, just about hail at times! Also the wind picked up at same time!
So really glad, I was wearing my Synergy Swimrun wetsuit. I still got, very wet, but at least it kept me warm!
