Pre-race routine:

kids allowed little sleep. Get up late, miss some announcements, can't find a spot for my bike, have to squeeze inbetween people who are takeing a little extra room, get my suit on, announcer saying get out of trans area, so i figure when i get back in i will finish. annoucer says go to water. at water i realize we are not going back, i will lose my wedding ring in the water, i dont have my googles so i start my warm up.
Event warmup:

RUN, on stomes, back to trans area. yell at me if you want i need my googles. realize they were only telling sprinters to get out. ditch my reing, grab my googles, run back to start. fenced out from group. find a way around the fence, make my way to front of group. group turns around, im at the back of group heading into water w/plenty of time.

I can breath and davigate in the pool but not in open water.
