This is my routine for >90% of my races:


Show up borderline late. Ride bike from car to check-in station with about 1-2 minutes to spare before the shut down. Get chip, race number, and whatever else they're handing out. Shove all into bag. Look at other people for their body markings. Bust out my own sharpie and mark myself. Run to transition area with bike. Set up as quickly as possible because the time between registration shut down and transition area closing is minimal. Make sure to grab wetsuit, body glide, cap and goggles. Hit the porta potty. Wait 15 minutes in lineup, miss race start, drop body glide in potty, drag onepeice top through urinal. Take care of business, including the nether regions with body glide (note: do this after hitting your neck and where ever else you want lubed, why, don't you wash those other parts). Put wetsuit on to the waist. Run to the swim corral while fighting with my upper portion of the wetsuit. By now, I've worked up a pretty good sweat. Beg a competitor or volunteer to zip me up. Put on cap and goggles. Jump into the water and do no more than 6 strokes out. Stop. Pee , keep going (I really really hope you swim to the side).
