Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:45, had a bowl of cereal with blueberries and juice. Took my usual shower to wake up, chill...then headed to Keller at 5:45.
Event warmup:

Got to the parking lot and it was empty of people and full of cars. Hopped on my bike and started riding over and noticed that the T area was full? I got there at 6:40...10 minutes after the T area opened....or so I thought. Forgot to set my clock ahead so I was late. They hurried me in and gave me like 2 minutes to set up my T area so my wheels were off the whole day.

Not be wheels off and forget to start my watch.
