Slept 3-4 hours, decided to get up about 3:30, would have liked more sleep but I was to keyed up. Put my gear together, had a couple of Zone bars & an OJ on way to race site, set up transition, talked with some fellow Nebraskans, put on wetsuit, had a half of a chocolate rice crispy bar, did some stretching, hung out with my neighbor waiting for our wave.
Walk more than a mile to transition & stretch
