soggy compost

I left a batch of compost in a cart, and it rained for couple of days. Now I have some very soggy compost. Can just use it as it is, or should I try to dry it out first?

Save the water. It's like compost tea. The solids can still be used as compost, although I think I would just put them back on the pile. JMO. :)

I'd run it back through the pile, jut to be sure it hadn't gone anaerobic...
