Pre-race routine:

Stayed in Caboolture for a 20min drive to the start. Work up early to not rush/stress. Breky 2 hr pre-start of yogurt, handful of oats, handful of milo, and 2 scoops of milo. Filling meal that gave plenty of energy for hours.
Event warmup:

Light stretching and lots of freaking out! I had no idea how any of the race worked so I was trying to watch how everyone one else was preparing and setting up their transitions.
Swim

Comments:

I completely freaked out for most of the swim. I just couldn't calm my breathing for the first half. I had never done a open water swim before so the whole bumping/kicking from everyone else didn't help anything.
What would you do differently?:

Open water train if I had the time (which I don't).

Never done this before at speed, I did ok. I was trying to watch everyone else which was too distracting.

Practice at speed at least once or twice prior

Cornering skill training

Bit slow getting the shoes off.

Comments:

I rocked the run. Pushed as hard as I could without loosing control of my breathing. Kept knocking down my age groupers until the finish!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Continue doing what I've been doing.
