Pre-race routine:

woke up early, but not early enough...i thought the race started at 7:30 am, it started at 7:00, so it was crunch time! when i arrived the transition setup was full so me and a couple of other guys just leaned our bikes on the outside rails.
Event warmup:

luckily for me one of the bouys unanchored and it took some time to rechieve it, so i used this time to swim and run a bit

poor planning
