Pre-race routine:

Met Lynn, Ellen, Debbie and Jerry at the Morrison Conoco. Threw everything in Ellen's car and rode to the start.
Event warmup:

We had changed wheels and cassette on my TT bike that morning and I found out the shifting in the low gears was sucky on our way into the race. Ted worked on it, I rode around a little, chatted w/ others, finally got on the trainer as the starter rounded us up to start early.

Comments:

Gears started messing up again on the climb so I had to sit and spin rather than stand and hammer. We had 30" between riders at the start which I found wasn't really enough time to clip in, get in a good position and stand to start. Good practice TT which is all I wanted.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure my bike is working beforehand, get on the trainer earlier, practice TT starts.
Post race
Warm down:

A little spinning, mostly chatting, cheering, checking results.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not much riding in Jan & Feb due to sickness & a fairly hard ride the day before.

Event comments:

Great low-key race close to home. Glad to get 1st TT jitters out of the way here.
