Post race
Warm down:

drank a cup of coffee, ate a little of the after race food, drank another gatorade

Event comments:

Bus from hotel didn't know how to get to the starting line, so was a little late getting to the start. No big deal, the bus was warmer than standing around outside in the 30 degree weather.
