Pre-race routine:

Well, I finally had that dream...woke up one hour before alarm went off due to crazy dream. (I forgot to bring my bike along and showed up without tri shorts on!) Drank a redbull (I'm finding this causes less bathroom issues then coffee)PB bagel with 1/2 bananna on the road by 6:00am ( I work 2nd shift...I'm not an AM person!!)
Event warmup:

Lots of stretching! L4 and L5 not behaving again! Going for epidural on Monday due to siatic pain

Walked around parking area several times and stretched lower back before drive home

Very pleased with swim and bike portion but running is taking a toll on this gal
