Pre-race routine:

Stumbled out of bed after only a few hours of sleep (I did the midnight 5k run to ring in the new year), shoved a PB&J english muffin down the hatch, and headed to the gym.
Event warmup:

Nothing -- I didn't want to waste a lick of energy. I really was scared that I wouldn't be able to complete the distance.
Swim
  • 1h 40m
  • 5000 meters
  • 02m / 100 meters
Comments:

We had 4 people in our lane and kept a pretty good rythm. We would each pull 100m and then fall to the back of the line. The pace was a bit slower than I would have liked, but when it was over I felt like I could swim another 5000m.
What would you do differently?:

Other than have our group keep a faster pace? Nothing. But I loved the ladies I swam with, so it was great.
Post race
Warm down:

Ate a ton of food and a couple of mimosas. Then took a long nap.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not much -- could have gone faster I think.

Event comments:

5000m in the pool gets a bit dull. But this was a great New Year's activity and served its purpose of keeping me from the party scene.
