Pre-race routine:

Got up at 4, had a bagel with PB, coffee. Chris came to pick me up and we drove to Leamington. Got a great spot in transition, got marked. Checked the bike, laid out my stuff, etc. Wandered around until about 15 mins before event.
Event warmup:

Warmed up in the lake for about 10 mins. Made sure there would be no wetsuit malfunctions this time. Then chatted with some new girls who were terrified.

Comments:

I'm not sure about the distance. I have 5.4km on my Garmin and 24.11 seems like a long time for a 5k - but it felt good and I was happy so that's all that matters.
