Pre-race routine:

Typical breakfast a few hours before race. Got there about 90 minutes before race for better parking (good idea), and to have a relaxing time. Also knew that race start was a quarter mile walk from check-in. They said 1/4 mile, I thought closer to a 1/2.
Event warmup:

Walked to start area, did some easy stretching.
