Pre-race routine:

woke up at 6:15, had a hotel room in seaside park. took a shower to wake up then had a 1/2 cup of coffee, 4 oz of yogurt, and about 4 oz mango juice. Arrived at race about 7:40 a.m. only to wait on line for about a half hour. I then realized i didn't need to wait on line b/c i picked up my race packet the day before but they had nobody to tell me to go straight to the body mark line. very annoying.
