Pre-race routine:

Got up early had breakfast and hit the road to Lincoln. Had everything packed the night before, so it was pretty easy to get up and out the door. Sipped on some gatorade on the way to Lincoln.

Once I got to the race site I racked my bike, hit the porta potties, and got checked in. Chatted with friends until the pre-race meeting.
Event warmup:

Walk down to the beach.
