Van 1: I will bring an ice chest and I will pick up 3 cases of water. There is a Safeway and a CVS Pharmacy in Wickenburg, on the main road about 1.5 miles from the start, where we should be able to get ice and any other supplies..
With a 5 AM start, if we are on schedule, then Van 1's schedule should be about
5:00 AM - 11:00 AM running
11:00 AM - 6:30 PM resting
6:30 PM - 12:15 AM (Sat) running
12:15 AM - 4:00 AM resting
4:00 AM - 9:00 AM running
9:00 AM - 2:00 PM resting
Friday
Breakfast - We would be in the middle of our running. We could eat before we start, but then for some that may be too soon before their run. Do people want to bring their own breakfast? That way you can eat when you want? According to Ragnar, at the start there will be breakfast & lunch food, coffee, juices, and sport drinks for sale. So we could eat there.
Lunch and Dinner - Exchange 6 is in the middle of nowhere, and last year they didn't have any food at the exchange. Ragnar hasn't yet listed what will be at Exchange 12, but it is off the main road in Surprise and there appears to be sevearl fast food and other places to eat within a few miles of the exchange.
Saturday
Breakfast - We would be in the middle of our running, so I assume everyone will eat whatever snacks/food they bring. We will be completing our legs at Exchange 18 and then resting at Exchagne 24, and Ragnar has not yet listed what will be at Exchange 24. But according to Ragnar, at Exchange 18 will be pasta dinner, baked goods, and snacks for sale (Fundraiser benefiting Susan G. Komen 3 Day for a Cure)
Lunch - This will be after Van 1 has completed their third leg. Van 1 completes their third leg at Exchange 30 and Ragnar has not yet listed what will be at Exchange 30. Are we planning on going to the finish line and hanging out there until Van 2 arrives? I am not familiar with the finish line area, but it appears there are sevearl places to eat.
HOTEL
Carl, for Thursday night, in Wickenburg, Whose names are the rooms reserved under? Do you have the confirmation number(s)? I want to make sure we don't have any problems checking into the hotel.
Also have we made plans for the team dinner Thursday night? I got an e-mail from Ragnar saying they are doing a pasta dinner Thrusday night. I'm not sure if we want to do that or something in the Phoenix area.
