Pre-race routine:

Woke up at the hotel, which was stinky and the bed was really soft. I didn't get much sleep, I think I finally got to sleep around 1:30. Took a shower, had a coke and check out. Had a bagel and muffen and some orange juice. Drove to the event which was about 30 minutes away. Went to registration and picked up my packet and got marked. Unloaded my car and met up with Dawn to go set up transition.
Event warmup:

Not much went to the bathroom and waded in the water.

I had a hard time getting warmed up. I sprinted out of transition and my hr was high at the beginning of the ride. Around mile 4 was when I finally settled in to a good pace.
