Pre-race routine:

Bread and peanut butter at 1am when I couldn't sleep. PBJ at 5:30.
Event warmup:

None, stood on the beach. The swim entry was fenced all around, except for one spot where athletes entered with their waves. Seemed impossible to warm up in the water.

Post race
Warm down:

Ice towels handed out at the finish were amazing. MGD light was pretty sweet, too.

Event comments:

A well-run race. Loved the numbered racks in the transition area. Made it stress-free to set up, and stress-free to find my bike after the swim. Only thing that could have been better would have been smoother roads, but there is nothing the race director can do about that, especially given that state and city funds for road repair are non-existent right now.
