I stole this from Megan Terrell, one of the girls on my squad, so I can't take any of the credit for the following list. But it is pretty darn near perfect.

Welcome to Tent City:

1. Always take your shoes off when entering your tent. 

 

2. Position your laundry bag as far away from your head as possible. 

 

3. Headphone are a must! Tents are not sound proof and we have some snorers and restless sleepers.

 

4. When camping inside, rain covers are not required for keeping the rain out, but are completely necessary for privacy and introverted time. 

 

5. When entering or leaving your tent, you have a 3 second window to zip it back up before the mosquitoes get in.

 

6. It is useful to hang your headlamp on the ceiling of your tent to feel like you have electricity. 

 

7. You must begin a core workout routine to have the ability to change your clothes in a tent. 

 

8. There is no map for tent city. Remember where your house is and memorize the quickest route to it. 

 

9. Dryer Sheets improve freshness. We're on the world race, have some class and keep your home smelling nice.

 

10. And always know where your emergency exit is. Remember, it could be behind you.
