Excellent, Sweder. I just checked in to ensure that you had duly returned home, recovered and had time to Dorney Dash off your 1,000 words of purple poetry in running record time.

And you duly have. Hooray - well done.

Yes, my Garmin gives me 1:00:00 exactly for the race. I stopped my clock a few metres over the line, so that photographer's pic would not be spoiled by my odd fumblings. I also completed the course 3m behind Andy. At an estimated peak finishing line (near terminal) velocity of 4m/s, I compute 59:58.75 for our noble leader.

Amongst other memories of the race beyond rain, champagne, quiche and conviviality, I will take your very fine 'sleeper' joke, and that unexpected view we had of the EdF Energy - James Cracknell's and Ben Fogle's tiny boat in which they rowed the Atlantic last year. It was parked up beside the course just before the 5km marker.

Andy was reaffixing his race number at the time and I think he may have missed it.

Thanks to all for a great splosh, and many congratulations to Andy.

Meanwhile I'll post some pictures and my short video clip early next week.
