Pre-race routine:

I worked the third shift 12 hours the night before (it sucks, but it is what it is), started drinking coffee at 5:30 am and had some oatmeal. Took a quick shower and headed for the race when my relief arrived at 6 am. My training buddy and I rode together and arrived with just enough time to get marked, set up and attend pre race meeting.
Event warmup:

Stretched, changed clothes....I should have gotten their earlier and warmed up, I have never warmed up before I need to try it.

Comments:

My training partner and I put down the same est swim time 6:30, he finished 30 sec or so ahead of me, I never could catch him after that.
What would you do differently?:

I probably could have wnt faster, i passed two guys in the swim, and my heart rate was fine coming out.

Comments:

I had to stop to pee in the woods. I went out too slow and they were no mile markers, so I had no idea of my pace
What would you do differently?:

I should have learned/found out where the mile markers were
Post race
Warm down:

Congratulad my Buddy on defeating me. had a bananna and some cookies and a water, thats all they had

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Probably my weight, I got to loose some weight, and lack of speed work

Event comments:

Your race number does not reflect your swim time...ie I was race # 23, but I was probably the 50th swimmer to enter the pool, usually in a pool swim # 1 goes first etc, not in this race...it was a little confusing, but they made it work.
