Pre-race routine:

Arrived 5:30AM. Long walk to transition area. Immediately took bike to bike guys for air check. Performed bike equipment set up and check. Began setting up transition area. Chatted lightly w/ other participants, greeted friends, checked on Beth. Used restroom. Donned wetsuit. Pre-race prayer w/ club and friends. Final transition area check, put goggles on so I could see to walk to water. Grabbed cap and headed down 20 minutes early in order to be in the front of my wave.

Site better. Swim maybe a little harder. Never breaststroke.
