Pre-race routine:

Got up nice and early. Had a cup of coffee, a protein shake, and a granola bar as usual.

Got to the race site around 6:30, racked the bike, laid out transition, got marked, and picked up chip.

Had enough time to chat with some friends and scope out the swim.
Event warmup:

A quick swim to get loose.
