The Gear

Starting in the top left and moving clockwise:

• Drop bag with my number on it
• The CIM shirt...it's the best yet! I won't wear it tomorrow, but I wanted to get it in the photo anyway.
• Garment Pile: Hat, short sleeve shirt, and compression underwear. No, Mike, they are NOT panties!
• Garment Pile 1: Socks with the big wheel and my Brooks running shorts.
• Tube Socks: I cut the bottom off tube socks and use them to keep my arm warm. Don't laugh. They work REALLY well.
• Body Glide: friction = bad.
• Vitamins: two capsules of hammer nutrition supplements (old man pills)
• Recoverite for after the run.
• Hammer Gel: two flasks of Raspberry Hammer Gel. I figure I'll need 8 ounces of gel for the run. So I split it into two flasks and added some water to thin it out. Gel in 40 degree weather takes on the consistency of Vaseline. 
• Electrolyte Pills for the run. I figure I'll need 3 per hour.
• Not Pictured: the Garmin 405 watch and my vomit green Brooks Defyance shoes.
