Getting Ready

Big day tomorrow. 18-Miles and I have to be in Solana Beach by 6:15am. Bought my train ticket today and started laying out gear.

Checklist:


Adidas Climalite Tee. This is made of a special fabric that wicks the water away from your skin so that it evaporates quickly. It helps keep you from overheating.














New shoes: The aforementioned Asics Gel Nimbus VIII's. Must remember to transfer emergency contact velco thingee from old shoes to new shoes.












New Cool Max Toe Socks. These keep your toes separated so that you don't get blisters between your toes. They are also made of a special material that pulls the sweat away from your feet to keep you cooler and blister-free.










Ultimate Direction "Uno" Water Belt












GU: "Expresso Love" Energy Gel with 2X Caffeine. You eat this gel on the go with a swig of water and you get an immediate burst of energy. I'm going to eat about 4 of them during tomorrows walk.











BlisterShield Foot powder for socks.













Band-Aids for my nipples. Yes, you read that correctly. Not very glamorous but it is very common for men to have to do this as they tend to get rubbed raw by the shirt on such a long session with the constant repetitive motion.







Other stuff:

Baseball Cap
Sunblock
Sunglasses
