Pre-race routine:

Got up at 4:45 but had a little trouble getting the rest of the family out of the bed! We grabbed a little breakfast at 5:30 and headed for the race site. We didn't leave the hotel until 5:50...I was freaking out! We pulled up to the race site at 6:15 and had a loooong way to go to the parking area! I was absolutely freaking out, now!
Event warmup:

No warm up...except the little 2/3 mile jog to the swim start.

Comments:

I was a little stiff from not having a warm up. It took about 15 minutes to get loose. I felt really good in the last 300...too bad I had already realized I missed my goal time!
What would you do differently?:

Arrive earlier to allow for warm up.

Not hurt my back the day before a race!
