I thought that i would repost the Checklist we came up with for Marine Corps in order to help the Boston guys and myself pack accordingly.
Since you have to get up early, I'd suggest eating a little bit for breakfast and also brining a little with you as well. You will be at the school by 7AM and I'd eat something light as soon as you arrive.
Wear your singlet under your clothes that way you won't forget it. Make sure that your shorts have pockets for a gel or two. Bring some comfortable shoes - you will change into your racing shoes at about 9AM and you have to wear them to the start.
You will need a heat blanket to lay on the ground under the tent especially if it is raining.
Remember to bring plenty of liquid and some dry clothes to stuff into your bag for after the race.
A garbage bag poncho is always a good idea as well.
To sum it up, you need:
Singlet with Bib Number attached
Shorts with pockets for Gels
Racing flats
Racing socks
Trash bag poncho
Throw away shirt and sweatpants
Some food for before and after the race
A Gatorade bottle to drink/ urinate into
If it is cold:
Hat
Gloves (ones you can throw away are a plus)
Arm Warmers if it is really cold
To put in your bag for at the finish:
Dry clothes - shirt, jacket, pants, socks, and comfy shoes
Make sure that you use the bag the BAA gives you with the label they provide as well.
Make sure that you bring your confirmation card and ID in order to get your Bib Number at the Expo.
If anybody thinks of anything else, please add it to the list
