You really CAN fit everything you need for a year into a backpack!
Living somewhat minimally while on the Race is very exciting to me. And organizing is one of my faaaa-vorite things. Plus, I like a good challenge. I'm a left-brainer. A Type A, if you will. With a touch of OCD. Just a touch! So here is my Super Organized Photo-Filled Training Camp Packing List. I hope you enjoy. And future racers- I hope this helps!
*Note: The photo uploader thingy is not cooperating with me at the moment. Photos coming soon!
