Pre-race routine:

Race began at 7:15. Got up at 5:00a.m., had a banana and an english muffin with peanut butter, sipped on water and gatorade till the race.
Event warmup:

Did not warm due to mechanical problems with bike. 15 minutes before my wave started, I noticed air leaking from my front tire. Bad valve stem. By the time I got it changed, I was barely able to make it to the starting line before my age group started.
