Boiled noodles to go under the chili (boiled ahead of time, quickly reheated at the event). And grated cheese.

Some kinda cookies.

- Good one JJ. Almost forgot. Will have noodles there. I remember that the first Highlander advertised a "Pasta BBQ" after the race.
- Chocolate milk: Will work on that.

Remember to download the meet notes (no paper copies at registration).

- There might be one or two wet passages of streams, especially if rain is moving in. Consider preparing your feet with vaseline or waterproofing them otherwise (this also works against blisters).

- Cell phones: You are allowed/encouraged to carry a cell phone, but do NOT use the GPS or any map application. The cell phone number of the event director is listed in the meet notes. Use it in case of emergency. Cell reception in Harriman is limited. Sending text messages works better than calling. Also go to higher elevations to use the phone.

- Safety bearing: The way we use the area, there is no given safety bearing. Use your estimate/judgment what the next larger road might be. Then take a rough bearing west, south, east, north, east and north (that's the real sequence, it won't help you much to figure out the course lay-out...)
