Pre-race routine:

I had a really bad night of sleep (3 hrs total) due to stress totally unrelated to the race. It affected my performance tremendously.
Event warmup:

Stretched just a bit.

Comments:

I didn't have a good swim for being a wetsuit one. As soon as I reached the first buoy I got confused (because I didn't see any others in the same direction) and I started turning left. A kayak stopped me after 30 or 40 yds and redirected me. I probably lost 40 secs on that mistake. Other than that it was a below average swim.
What would you do differently?:

Sight more and not underestimate the swim for the fact that it is such a short one.
