by this time tomorrow, i will be one very tired (and hopefully very happy) girl.

i’ve got my checklist:

bin liner (in case of rain at the start)
ibuprofen
gloves
race number (and pins)
gels and powerbars
dextrose tablets
bandanna
sunglasses (depending on weather)
vaseline (for lips and chafing)
sweats and scarf (for staying warm at the start, then tossing)
fully loaded ipod
camelback water belt
extra socks (for changing into after)
warm clothes (as above)
comfortable shoes (as above)

wish me luck!!

cake – the distance
