Pre-race routine:

Woke up and ate a banana and drank a cup of tea. Drank water bottle as driving to race. All race gear was pre-staged in my truck, which help with morning routine. Had to pay for parking on Lake Lanier Island, would havve thought that my $89 entrance fee would have covered that.

Light stretching and medule pace walk to swim start.
