Pre-race routine:

Set up transition area, had bottle of water and towel rdy to wash my feet. Slowed me down, don;t think this is necessary for sprints. At most wipe feet down
Event warmup:

Not warm enough, did no pre stretch or jog, did not want to sweat befor putting on wetsuit. Got in water but did not warm up enough and it cost me dearly.
