Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:45. Had a cup of coffee and and light breakfast. Mixed two bottles of Infint. Everything was packed the night before. Took my time getting ready. Out the door at 5:40. Ten minute drive. Picked the spot I wanted to transition by 6:00. Talked to everyone I know until 6:30 (want to start focusing on task at hand). Did a 250 yard swim right before line up.

Comments:

"Hi, I'm Jonathan and I am a poor swimmer." With that said, I was proud of my swim on this day. I was about to freestyle the whole course and only tread water once because I lost navigation.
What would you do differently?:

Keep swimming

Comments:

Sat down to put socks on. Helped another athlete with dropped water bottle. Every second counts in sprints!
What would you do differently?:

I have to get a better plan on socks. I have decided until I miss a podium finish by few seconds I am going to wear socks. I have to live with my feet everyday. However, I do not have to sit on the ground spread eagle for 30 seconds getting my sock on!
