Ahh Geez, anybody getting nervous??!!

Okay folks. We are getting close. Bottom line is to get in shape!

We have another WB alumni which certainly helps with the planning process.

My experience says bring the following:
--headlamp
--high energy snacks (gel-shots, nuts, fruits, etc.)
--try to minimize your gear to one large bag (sleeping bag, pad, tarp, extra clothes, etc.) and;
--one day bag that includes personal get-you-going (power gel, energy drinks, pain meds, allergy meds, nuts, fruits, etc.) items.
--On the RAGNAR website they have a list of other recommended items: http://www.ragnarrelay.com/public/race_documents/1277770803-checklist.pdf

RAGNAR requires us to have safety vests for night running. I have about 4 or 5, so we'll need to come up with a few more. These are basically the vests highway workers use. We'll also have to "rent" safety flags that we are required to have when we are supporting the people that are running. We can get those the morning of the run.  Each van is required to have them.

We have 3 confirmed new runners: Ben Brown, Scott Sudweeks, and Benny Brawand. We lost one person so that brings the total team to 11.

Everyone should have received an invitation from me from the RAGNAR website. You need to click the link and sign the waiver to be "official". If you didn't receive an invite or if you lost the link let me know and I'll resend. bkchard@comcast.net

Get running!
