Pre-race routine:

Was planning to get up at 4:30 to drive out there. Woke up at 2:15 to use bathroom, fell back asleep, alarm didn't go off, woke up on my own at 5:38 and rushed to get everything ready to be out the door by 6. Ended up forgetting my Garmin, oh well.
Event warmup:

Walked around, 2 potty breaks, squished tight for the start.

Comments:

Only 1 aid station on the run, and they were out of water when I got there. Luckily for me I run with my own water bottle, but it would have been nice to have water to dump on myself to cool down. Did a run walk, but no idea of pace and timing.
What would you do differently?:

run more, walk less.
Post race
Warm down:

walk to car to pack stuff up in it and get clothes to change for drive home.

Event comments:

A lot of youngsters out on this course, some doing the tri and others doing just the 5k. One girl doing the 5k was only in 1st grade. The youngest triathlete was 7. There was a father and son pair dressed up as the Incredibles, as well as the obligatory Santa, Mrs. Claus, and all their reindeer.
