got up @ 3;30am(race was about an hr and half drive)! Ate an orange and a banana when I got up and started right away back on the water. Ate another banana about 4;30. Protein bar at 6:00am. Slammed a Rocktane about 30 minutes before and 10 minutes before I hit the water.
Event warmup:

None, way to cold for that!
