Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 5:50. PB and J for breakfast on the road. Hauled kids and friend into car. Got to penn yan at 7:15 and parked in the marked parking lot, which was about 1/2 mile from the transition area. Walked to transition area, past lots of cars parked much closer. Kids were whining. The registration area was chaos-nobody knew where to go. They had run out of goody bags by the time we got there, so we never got our postrace meal ticket. Was told 5 minutes ahead of time that transition was closing at the start of the oly (45 minutes before the start of the sprint) and was frantic.
