Pre-race routine:

Got up and ate breakfast pretty much just like any other day. Really excited this morning because this is my first Tri. Got a early start went to check in and get my bib # ( then back to the car for my ID) Back and got my bi and timing chip and then on to be marked. Finally on to set up my transition area. Went back to the pool area to wait for the start and realized I forgot to put up my sunglasses in the transition area. Soooo back to the bike and drop off my sunglasses. Finally think I have everything done sit and watch the Mini sprinters start.
