Pre-race routine:

Woke-up about 5:30am, showered and headed out. Was surprised to see that it was raining and lightning outside. When I got to the race site it was still raining. They announced that the olympic distance racers were going to be only swimming and biking the same distance as the sprint and that the race was delayed.
Event warmup:

Didn't really do much to warm-up, other than swim a little right before my wave.
