Countdown - 2 Weeks to Tuna!

Are you ready to run?  By now we've picked vans, assigned legs, and are in the final push to get ready.  Here's what you need to think about in the next 2 weeks

At least the week of, start to taper back your workouts so that you're fresh for the run.  That first leg will feel fine, it will be fun!  The second leg... eh.  Not too bad, but you'll feel it.  That third leg is gonna suck out loud.  So be ready and rested!

Order your food!  This year you can order dinner (!), a campsite and showed (for realz!) and you cannot miss the hotcakes and sausage breakfast on Saturday.  Order and pay in advance!

Van Cap'ns, make sure you have the following figured out with your van-mates:
  • Two reflective vests for the night runs - this is mandatory
  • Headlamps (everyone may want their own, but if you're gonna share, you'd better have 2 or more)
  • Blinky lights - match 'em up with the vests
  • Race belts (if you have 'em).. we get bibs, but if you have a race belt, it's easier to pass off rather than pinning on (totally optional, pin them on if you want).
  • Food and water - figure out who's bringing what.  See the "what to pack" post if you need help.
Make sure that you spoke to Sara if you want a hotel room.. if not, you'll be spending a 2nd night in the van (which might feel like home by then!).

These 2 weeks are gonna go fast!
