Pre-race routine:

Woke up about 5 AM and got a shower. Nothing to eat but grabbed a gatorade and a bottle of water and out the door by 5:30. Picked up a buddy and drove one hour to the race site. Got my timing chip, got marked and got on the bus to head to the start.
Event warmup:

No warm-up. Just sitting around and talking for about 20 minutes.

Comments:

Current was very strong with the swimmers. Everything came together for a really good swim. I was able to just put my head down and swim without getting winded. Never got very tired and learned a good rhythm that has escaped me until today.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Wfie and girls were waiting on me at the finish. Drank some water, had some cookies and listened to the race results

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Work on my sighting without having to slow down so much.

Event comments:

I thought the race was very enjoyable. Definately will not miss it next year.
