Packing for Dopey CHallenge

1/3/2015

0 Comments

 
Running 4 races requires a lot of packing so here is all I packed! I had to pack early as I was going home for Christmas and then straight to Florida 

For the races (I put all of this in a carry on to ensure it did not get lost):
  • 4 pairs of shoes-I am wearing a different shoe for every distance just incase it rains. Also, I am still breaking in a new pair of shoes so they will be great for the shorter distances
  • 4 pairs of socks
  • 4 shirts
  • 4 bottoms
  • the weather looks fine but I packed 4 pairs of capris to run in just incase a surprise cold front comes through
  • 4 costumes
  • **I pack all of my stuff in drawstring backpacks to ensure all costumes are accounted for
  • flip belt
  • sunglasses
  • ipod for music and case
  • backup ipod
  • headphones
  • backup headphones
  • garmin
  • Road ID
  • Hair ties
  • Hair bands
  • garmin charger
  • ipod charger

During races:
  • breakfast before-I plan on buying peanut butter travel packs, smoothie packs, cereal, vega pre and recovery
  • I packed chia seeds and sugar for my cereal
  • Fuel-I packed a 2 packs of margarita shot bloks and a few clif shots. I need to buy more at the Expo
  • Band-aids
  • Icy hot packs
  • Icy hot/biofreeze

Recovery:
  • Baby wipes to use right after the race
  • 3 pairs of compression socks
  • Procompression capris
  • Rollers
  • Lacrosse balls-great for those tough knots
  • Water bottle

Clothes:
  • I usually end up wearing my race shirts after they happen but they are long sleeve so just incase I always pack 4 extra shirts
  • Outfit for Expo
  • Outfit for extra days (I will also be there Sunday and Monday before the expo and Monday after)
  • Outfit for plane ride home
  • Pajamas
  • Swimsuit
  • Jean shorts, 2 pairs of jeans
  • 2 light jackets
  • Pair of boots and winter coat (this is more for the holidays but just incase!)
  • 2 long sleeve shirts to wear incase it gets cold
  • flip flops to wear around the hotel
  • 2 pairs of sneakers/flats to wear around the parks

Parks:
  • Magic bands!
  • Tickets
  • Money/credit card
  • Umbrella/poncho/rain coat incase of showers
  • Park bag
  • **bag for Expo-I am going to bring a bag to help carry all of my shirts and stuff I buy. 6 long sleeve shirts take up a lot of space

Misc:
  • Power strip (there are never enough plugs in a hotel room)
  • Plastic bags (use for ice, incase it rains, etc.)

Carry on bag:
  • Books to read
  • Headphones for the plane
  • Kindle/tablet
  • Computer
  • Snacks

That should cover it! What are some of your packing secrets?
