Up at 4am. The resort opened breakfast early for us so I took advantage. I trained all summer on hard boiled eggs for breakfast, and they had no eggs. I asked the manager and he went back and made me up some asap! What service! Amazingly calm for the morning of a race. Packed up my stuff and grabbed a shuttle to the start. Setting up was mostly uneventful. Pumped the tires, filled the bottles, dropped off my special needs bag, etc. The only hangup was the line to the bathrooms which was pretty long and the stalls were running out of tp.I lucked out with one of the few with paper. Lubed up and headed to the pier and the start. I had read that last year there were people still trying to get into the water when the gun went off so me and a friend made a point to gets towards the front of the mob waiting to get in. Right after the pros started (and the dolphins did a little show) they began letting people walk down the pier and jumping in the water. I chose the ever difficult 'canonball' entry.
being one the first people to get into the water I had a few minutes to swim around. nothing fancy, just tried to loosen up best I could. As more people started getting in I swam over to the starting line to get a good position. While we waited I was able to notice the strength of the current. While it moved us backwards while we waited, it was clear that it wasn't as strong as previous days, and seemed not as strong as last year either. Good news for me!
