Pre-race routine:

I got up at four and ate my cereal and turkey bacon. I had packed everything the night before so I didn't have to worry about that stuff. I took a shower this year prior to leaving for the race. It seems to wake me up a little bit more and stimulate the nerves.
Event warmup:

I jogged around barefoot for a little bit and stretched my arms.

Comments:

I thought my swim was very good. I was drafting off of a guy until the turn around. Then he stayed about 10 ft. to my left as we approached the end. About 50 yds. out he shot straight for me and ran me over. I was pissed. I did have a problem getting my wetsuit top off. I fell down at the beach because I lost my balance.
What would you do differently?:

Just practice taking my wetsuit top off.
