Pre-race routine:

Up at 6:30, ate half bagel with PB, banana, and sipped gatorade and water all morning
Event warmup:

Went out into the water, waves we breaking every 30-50 yds, 6-7ft swells, it was going to be rough. The race director tried to what it out, first group goes off (have you ever seen a current so strong that it takes the lead swimmers 30 mintues to get to the bouy, I have), so they move the swim into 100 yds off shore, still not working, the women still couldn't get out there. Now the director is freakin out, well how about we let you all run in the water ankle high, and make it a duathlon. JUST WHAT I WANTED, NOT. I understand the safety aspect, but I also love the fact the swim clears out the experienced and non-experienced. We went in a hour after oringal, so I had a little bit of pwer bar because I was starting to feel hungry, because the race still hadn't started.

I am not given it a better rating, simply because of the lack of swim, can't blame the race organizer, but I would have liked to swim it
