Pre-race routine:

breakfast cereral/ toast. No food 2 hours prior to race. Found this works better for me. Can't be eating "goo, or downing Cliff Bars just prior to race" If I eat to soon before race I get side ache. I think I swallow a lot of air while swimming. Drove up to Snow Valley by myself. Both training partners backed out of race
Event warmup:

Rode bike around parking lot. Ran 2-3 mins. Had to ride uphill aprrox 2 miles to start of race. Swam in lake for 5-10 min. easy
