Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 5:00 am, made some coffee. My folks got up and made grits, eggs, sausage, toast and fruit. Age a huge breakfast. Drank a few waters. Left for the race late (6:20) and arrived around 7:20.
Event warmup:

Only had time for a quick swim. Running late and trying to figure everything out really ate into what little pre-race time I had. By the time I got marked and my transition area setup the announcer was telling everyone to make their way to the beach. I had to throw the wetsuit on and hurry down there, hence the stuck zipper in T1

Comments:

Good swim I thought. I expected to be much further back in the pack than I actually was. Nice suprise.
What would you do differently?:

Start on the end. There was a lot to thrashing, contact and chaos. I wondered why I could so easly find a spot right there in the middle of the line along the shore.
Transition 1
  • 02m 13s
Comments:

Besides the wetsuit zipper getting stuck issue, everthing was okay.
What would you do differently?:

Pull the zipper straight up instead of up at an angle when putting on my wetsuit.
