Here are a few things you should know: * plan on being there and parking at 6:30. Traffic on hwy 79 blows getting to the event site so plan accordingly. Be parking by 6:30, 10 minute trek to Mudder Village and check in. *WE WILL MEET NEAR THE 3 AMERICAN FLAGS. * as much as you might love coffee and caffeine you need to not have any starting as early as friday. It is a major dehydrator. * you should start focusing on hydrating like mad today. Drink lots of water. Pedialyte helped me immensely during the Spartan Beast in 112 degree heat and is a good way to get a jump on fluid. * No more long runs just short maintenance stuff from here on out. * Stretch stretch stretch stretch. Did I mention stretching? focus on loosening up your shoulders and wrists. Deep stretch all of your leg muscles and I mean DEEP. Open up you hips and dig into those quads. *Shoot for wearing black shorts, leggings, compression or whatever as long as its black. Its going to be great to have everyone matching as close to each other as possible. The folks at CustomInk also want a photo of the team. *If you want some extra sun protection load up on carrot juice starting today. Drink a half gallon or so until the night before. Weird trick but it helps. the sunscreen washes off too fast. *charge your GoPro batteries, it looks like well have four cameras with us this time! AWESOME! *Bring cash for merchandise and food afterward.
