We finish last in the rain (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wet

'rain' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'we finish last' is the wordplay.
'finish' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'last' is 't'.
'we'+'t'='WET'

'in the' is the link.

(Other definitions for wet that I've seen before include "Moisture; feeble (colloq.)" , "Irresolute" , "Soaked with water" , "Moistened" , "Soaked with liquid" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
