Pre-race routine:

Drove two hours to Medical Lake. Ate a bagel with ham and cream cheese on the way. When I got there, set up, and wiped the road grime off my bike with baby wipes.
Event warmup:

Walked around a bit and talked to people. It was warm, and then cold, and then it started to get windy and rainy, so I put on my wetsuit to keep dry. And then it got warm again.

Do a practice swim and also visual swimming as we're getting ready.
