Pre-race routine:

Awake in the comfort of the AmericInn Jacuzzi room.
Event warmup:

Convince myself that it really was time to get out of bed, and that the tempting coziness of the warm bed and beautiful woman in it were just there to keep me from my goals. Besides, she signed up too, and no way was I letting her sleep in. Late registrations for races are expensive!

Warm down:

great food tent and band, then a drive back to the jacuzzi for one last quick soak before the long drive home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

we all know the answer to this question.

Event comments:

If you love Rehoboth Beach, and want to visit when it's not 98 degrees, this is a good reason. With the outlet malls, there is no off-season here, so everything is open, and the downtown is decorated nicely. The race is great, and if you're fast enough to be a contender for overall podiums, you take home a full sized life preserver trophy.
