Pre-race routine:

Slept on floor, parents used the bed. I such a good host. Got up at 5 at whole wht eggo w/ pnutbutter w/ banana in middle. Finished packing car and we were off. Its going to be the first time the prents see me in action. Left w/ plenty of time. bout 630 got a speeding ticket...did he jsut say a speeding ticket....yes a speeding ticket... and for those of you familiar w/ the area, the cross over road btw the suncoast express way and US 19, i think its CR 98, do as close to hte speed lmt as you can. Trooper cought me coming over the last little hill before 19. What a great start to a race morning. Needless to say all focus, motivation, and will were all but lost.
Event warmup:

Took a long time to warm up..Set up bike then the Tstorms came back..luckily i had only set up the bike and nothing else. Hung out in the car w/ the rents til 830 when the rain and all finally subsided. At 845 (1h 15min after sched start time) the race began.
