Ok, So I'm shooting at the hip here. I have about 5 mins till team time and I figured I'd make this quick.
What NOT to pack…
1. Cotton T-shirts, go to walmart and get the one with a little elastic in them. You will have no dryer so ur clothes won't snap back after hand washing.
2. a regular laptop. Get a netbook. I know, i know. Everyone has an opinion on this. If you aren't already editing photos and junk, you won't start on the race. You don't need a reg sized computer. That pack of yours is going to get heavy and you WILL think twice about chunking it.
3.A cheap sleeping pad. Mine is called "Queen Sheba". She's an extra large, extra long 3.5 inch think. Everyone on my squad envy's me. Especially the ones whose cheap ones have deflated or is hard as rocks, lol. For me, sleep is important. Yes, it's big but I sleep like a baby!! Sidenote: Even if you get a bed (like I'm sleeping on now) chances are, it will be hard as rocks 🙂
4. Full size anything. (except for tampons you'll need a ton of those) U are going to be in or go through places with toiletries. Those bottles will get old and heavy real quick.
5. A bunch of crap. Yeah, I said it. You can get along fine with less and it will all end up on the free table…Promise
Ok, that's it…Enjoy ur time Racers!!!! It will go by faster than u think. Love ya much 🙂
Brooke
