Pre-race routine:

Woke up around 5am. Got dressed. Had a choc chip peanut crunch Clif bar and lots of watered down Gatorade Endurance. Put everything in car around 5:30 and made my way to race site. Unpacked car. Setup transition. Stretched a little. Took care of some business. Put wetsuit on and headed for start.
Event warmup:

Waited as long as I could to get in to water. Got wet, swam a few strokes and got in line with my wave to start.

Had an awesome ride. The new race bike and setup felt great. HR was a little high but I was comfortable and the hills were steep. Road could use a little work but traffic was low so you could stay out of the rough patches.
Last 10 miles hip started to get sore but once off bike it was ok.
