Pre-race routine:

Got to the park/registered...went to the campsite, set up the tent and such, grabbed some race wear and the wetsuit, bike,etc and headed back to the race site.
Drank some Cytomax on the way over and took some "Dayquil" as I felt really bad as I might come down with a major sinus thing....
Event warmup:

Does rushing from the car to the transition area count? If not, then count me out of the warm-up, please.....
