Pre-race routine:

I woke up race morning at 3 am to make sure I had enough time to get ready to take the shuttle. Pre race routine included:
1. Hot Shower
2. Baggel, Ensure, Banana, Peanut Butter
3. Took Mega Man Vitamins
4. Checked packing list
5. Got my butt on the bus
Event warmup:

When we arrived at Roger Wheeler State Park I immedately unpacked my gear and set up my transition area. The weather was not nice at all!!! I completely caught by surprise...considering we just moved from Hawaii. The only warmy up I could muster was running in and out of the surf. To be honest it probably was a complete waste of time because it totally made me tired and miserable!!!

Comments:

So the swim was completely traumatic!! I forgot to change out my goggles so the lenses had a slight tint to them (not good at all), the water was choppy, I got lost several times, I swallowed half of the Atlantic, and was kicked in the face 3 times.

To be honest it was probably in top 10 worst experiences in my life!!
What would you do differently?:

Im not sure what I would do differently.

Just moved from Hawaii to New England? Why? Otherwise good race besides swallowing half the ocean.
