The marathon is just a hair over a week away, so a subset of my running gang met tonight for our first strategy session. You know, to discuss what we would do, when we would do it, how we would pack, but mostly to drink beer and eat Mexican food and alternately freak out and reassure each other. Basically, all we settled tonight is that two of us were not sure what airport we were leaving out of. So, off to a good start.
Unfortunately, what we did not resolve was just what, exactly, I was going to carry in all slots on my hydration belt. So now, I present to you, dear reader, a few of the options. Maybe you can help me decide.
The conundrum: What to put in the 4th bottle clip?
 |
| Kleenex: In case my friend Leigh is still a crying mess |
 |
| Dark Chocolate Peanutbutter: There is 1 Gel stop, but 5 banana stops on the course |
 |
| Pepto: No additional explanation needed |
 |
| Ibuprofen: Because I haven't got time for the pain |
 |
| Hand-held Stim machine: If the battery dies, push electricity through it |
 |
| Kinesio Tape: To hold it all together when it starts to fall apart |
 |
| Stuffed Eeyore: Sometimes you just need a stuffed Eeyore |
 |
| Rum: Let's face it. This has the best chance of actually working. |
 |
| Cab fare |
Is there a baby bjorn slot on the belt so you can take Jonah with you? Wait, maybe not a good idea. Hour four the two of you will still be on the grass at the first park on the course, giggling and chatting, the race a distant memory. Better to have him waiting for you at the finish. Holding a cupcake.
