friday i ate a huge breakfast and lunch and drank a few ensures in between eating to throw in some extra calories. Big bowl of pho for dinner then early to bed. woke up in a weird cold sweat, and thinking it was morning, i got up to get ready...it was only 10:30 pm.
Event warmup:

Coffee! ate some breakfast and drove to the site. I got set up and then it started to rain, so I got in my wetsuit asap to stay warm. did some pushups and stretching to get loose.

Getting in the water felt great. It was much warmer than the rain that was pounding us. On the way out on the course the water was only about 5 ft deep so i could stand up if i needed, but i didnt need to surprisingly!
What would you do differently?:

train more on the swim. i did ok, but i felt very underprepared the way my form was.
