This checklist is mostly for Dave, but will also be helpful for me because I always forget something.
Wear to start:
Singlet
Shorts with a pocket for Gels
Good Socks (not new ones, though)
Racing flats
Powerade bottle (to drink/to piss in when empty)
If it is cold:
Sweatpants (to throw off at start)
Shirt (to either toss at start or later in race)
Hat
Gloves (if it will warm up during race, wear a pair to throw off)
Arm Warmers (maybe some duct tape to hold them up)
If raining:
Light rain jacket or the trash bag poncho (has to be black = slimming and stylish; can't wear white after Labor Day)
What to put in your bag:
Socks
Shoes
Warm-up pants
Shirt
Jacket
Any other dry clothes you might need
Remember to bring:
your e-mail confirmation
gels to put in shorts
plenty of liquid to drink the day before and morning of
what you normally eat for a pre-race breakfast

We also need to figure out what time we are leaving and who is riding with who. The hotel check in starts at 3PM. I didn't know if Dave wanted to ride with me or with Rob. I at least need to follow Jeremy down in order to check into the room.

You guys can bring the duct tape if you guys need it. I have been working out and the arm warmers might not fit now. It doesnt matter who I ride with. It might be easier to just ride with you Jaron. We can figure it out tomorrow. What time do you think you were planning on leaving.

That sounds good. Whenever Jeremy was leaving I guess.

That's a good one Jeremy. Although, Dave may have to bring a sundial or a gigantic hourglass.
Matt, my number is 203.

race update: 15 miles down for Jaron and he's been leading the whole way by a few seconds. Looks like since the hills are done, he's pounding the pace, currently on pace for 2:22:08. Can't find any splits for Dave past 5 miles, but he and Jeremy were together at that point. Jeremy through the half in 1:23

Jaron 3rd overall in 2:25:29! Awesome job Jaron. Looks like the last 4-5 miles was tough. Jeremy and Dave still going strong.
