Pre-race routine:

got up two hours before race, given that i was ten min from the race venue. ate a banana and began drinking Gatorade immediately upon waking up. I was at the race about an hour before the start, which is when i stopped taking in liquids. I set up transition and went for a warm up run. About 15 min before the stat i took in a gel and some more water and got into my wet suit.

Event comments:

The setting is beautiful and makes the race worth doing, however i feel like my mom could have organized a race more efficiently. There was no timing, except for the total from the mass start to crossing the finish, which was still a few min slower than my actual time. Its bad when you cross a finish line and are cramping up, all you want is Gatorade off your bike and you cant get there because family members are in transition blocking your way. I almost had to yell at people to move. So bad organization of the race but nice setting.
