Event warmup:

Git up at 5am- woke up my wife and daughter- had all my drinks prepared in the evening so I did not have to rush in morning. Drove the 25 minutes to the park- my wife kicked me out of the car and said- we are going for breakfast have fun and we will see you at the start.
Picked up my number and chip- set up my transition area and it was sold this morning, so a good warm up was crucial. Went for a nice run with a few stretches.
At the racer meeting we found out that the sprint start for our age group is not until 8:50- what a drag to wait and it was a cold cold morning.
