Pre-race routine:

What a day! I fly for a living and Friday (the day before the race) I was in Eagle River Wisconsin. Had to fly the company jet to Cleveland, drop the plane off, then take Continental Airlines to Newark. Four days prior I had departed out of Newark and dropped off my car with bike and clothes for triathlon. Flight was scheduled to depart at 3:30 pm. An hour flight. Due to thunderstorms approaching NJ I didn't get into Newark until 8pm. Then I had to drive the 100 miles to ACY. Checked into Sheraton finally grabbed some zzz's
Event warmup:

Woke up at around 5am. Had an energy bar and some water. Went down to hotel fitness center. Stretched for 20 mins. Light warm up walk and a mile run on treadmill. Got into car, found parking space and rode to registration. Got ready and went for a mile bike ride. Got into water and swam for 5 mins.

The transition area ran the entire length of 36th street. My bike was only 4 racks in the front side. Got ready and realized this transition area was very long. Exit out the backside. Should have gotten some items on the walk out.
