Need to know who has the following:
1) Reflective vest (safety vest). We need two of these.
2) LED head lamp (two of these)
3) LED flash lights
and seriously...most importantly...
ideas for VAN DECORATIONS and costumes!
After talking with a few of you, we've decided to go with the Hammer (tool) for our theme rather than MC Hammer rap star.
Although we do need to download some MC Hammer music to blast as we are cruising along the course (hint, hint- Craiger)
I have the costume for da ladies. It is quite hilarious, I must say. I'm thinking we'll just wear it over running clothes (we can swap it between vans) but if you want to roll bare midriff, go for it! : )
I also found these small inflatable hammers (think beach toy blow up) that are reallly cute and we can use them to decorate our vans. Or make a vest out of them or something?
Who is going to volunteer to make us some big oversized hammers out of a refrigerator box for our vans?
Get creative, peeps. The crazy costumes are the best part of the Wasatch Back.
Each of you needs to leave a comment with a costume/van decoration idea.
We also need cow bells/tambourines/noise makers to cheer on our runners!
Ready?
Go.

Some Things Each Van Will Need:
Each van needs:
1. First aid kit - this does not have to be too extensive but heavy on things like band aids, mole skin... things runners tend to need
2. Paper towels
3. Baby Wipes
4. Garbage bags
5. Ziploc bags
6. Tarps - not sure on this one... but if any of us want to lay out under the stars we might want to tarp
8. Coolers - 1 maybe 2? what are your thoughts?
9. Sleeping bags, pillows, etc. for laying under the stars.
Food: Each van should coordinate a bit on food. Instead of 6 of us bringing granola bars 1 person could get bars for six and each person could bring 1 or two things each car needs? What are your thoughts? The things we ate a lot of were apples, carrots, wheat thins, string cheese, bagels, trail mix/ mixed nuts, beef jerky, candy/licorice and then we stopped and got subway for dinner.
Each van needs to work out who will bring what.
Craig (okay, let's be honest...Whit) will coordinate van 2 and Chelle will coordinate van 1)

Wasatch Back Do's and Don'ts
Hey Team,
Salt Lake Running Co. posted this and I thought it was interesting AND entertaining.
Enjoy!
Wasatch Back do's and don'ts.....
DO’S
■Bring a change of clothes for each leg. Store them in a Ziploc plastic bag along with gel and whatever else you need for that leg.
■Eat right after each run leg. Start with liquid recovery and then eat solids.
■Shake your tamborine…A LOT!
■Jump in the creeks to ice your legs for recovery between legs.
■Cheer on ALL your teamates.
■Bring extra food and be sure to include salty foods, PB and honey, extra water, etc.
■Pee whenever, wherever. Porta-potties are a luxury.
■Bring lots of wet wipes and hand sanitizer.
■Bring ear plugs for the group mini-sleep session between van rotations.
■Support other teams and share your goods with the desperate unlearned ones.
■Use anti-chaffing cream (bodyglide, trislide, or chamois butter will all work!)
■Bring rain gear.
■Take random candids of your teammates.
■Keep track of your splits (how fast you ran each leg).
■Let the guys change your flat tire.
■Decorate your van.
■Run fast.
DONT’S
■Bring only 1 CD.
■Get a flat tire coming down Avon pass (but refer to #15 above if you do).
■Be late to your hand off. This does not encourage team unity.
■Eat salad for your recovery meal.
■Forget your toothbrush.
■Take “No, you can’t park here” for an answer.
■Cut the cops off, they WILL give you a ticket.
■Back up into reflector poles.
■Honk your horn in the middle of the night.
■Open your doors at night whilst on the side of the road.
■Give Chris your Zone bars!
■Throw up in the van. That is what roll down windows are for. And this does not build team unity either.

Might I Suggest...
As part of your training, it would be REALLY good to do some back-to-back runs.
So, get up early in the morning and run your first leg of the race. Then, in the evening (as late as you can) run your second leg of the race. Then, get up early the next morning and run your last leg of the race.
This will be really helpful for our adventure!

This costume is called the "stud finder".
Since this is a team full of hammers, it just might be a winner!!
$35.00, and this costume could be ours!!
