Pre-race routine:

Arrived 5:30AM. Long walk to transition area. Immediately took bike to bike guys for air check. Performed bike equipment set up and check. Began setting up transition area. Chatted lightly w/ other participants, greeted friends, checked on Beth. Used restroom. Donned wetsuit. Pre-race prayer w/ club and friends. Final transition area check, put goggles on so I could see to walk to water. Grabbed cap and headed down 20 minutes early in order to be in the front of my wave.

Ran down to shoreline and back and transition routes.
