Tri content: my sleep schedule is getting back to normal and I actually ran this morning. 6.6 miles in 1:16. This is what happens when I wait until 9am to run and start out too fast. A good "mental toughness" session, I guess.
The last 2 days have been spent frantically buying supplies for the trail and getting stuff shipped in overnight delivery because the only camping store in town was out of several key items. Items they promised me 2 weeks ago that they would have. Oh well. This business does a lot to support local tris but they leave me no choice. REI gets the money. Today, I'm packing most of the food into ziploc bags. I know what I would pack for myself but....I'm also packing for 2 men and an 8 year old boy who loves red Kool-Aid and oatmeal cream pies. Definitely interesting. And heavier than I would like. Oh well, it will be an adventure either way.
Shawn was nice enough to help us field test a few of our meals last night. She didn't die so they must be good enough. And all 6 days of food can be cooked in nothing but hot water from our Primus camp stove. YEAH!
