My plans for the race are real simple go out slow, keep going, finish. I thought about posting about the weather and then I thought why? Regardless of what it is I will be there and will try to be ready.
Here is my current checklist:
Fuel
Clif shot electrolyte - 4 1/2 liters (2 bladders - 1 is 2 liters, 1 is 1 1/2 liters, 2 1/2 liter bottles)
Clif shot bloks - 2 packages
Chocolate #9 - 4
Sport beans - 2
Peanut butter sandwich - 2
Water - 6 1/2 liter bottles
Nuun tablets in case the water needs some flavor
S-Caps - 20
Clothing
Race start - Jacket, shorts, socks, running pants, long sleeve tech shirt, gloves, hat
extra running pants
extra long sleeve shirt
extra short sleeve shirt
extra socks
extra shoes
extra jackets
more gloves
costume - still thinking about it
Misc.
Headlamps 2
Flashlights 2
extra batteries
Garmin
usb battery charger for Garmin (need to create it yet)
extra watch
I am pretty sure I have forgotten something, oh well still time to correct it.

ready or not, here it comes!! :) We're ready. Of course, I don't even want to think about your shoe decision (though you probably want a pair for the race start). sunglasses is something I just thought about. And go with the costume!
If you're thinking about adding NUUN just for flavor, please be aware that a single tablet has more sodium than an S Cap.
I find that sunglasses fog up in cool/cold weather when I'm running and is more of a hassle than a help. A baseball cap does the trick just fine (especially in the woods).
For costume - I'm going to pretend to be an ultra runner ;)
See ya there!
Wow! Waiting for the race report!
