Today was check in. Medical was reviewed, weights taken and required equipment inspected for. Everyone had to also label all food packaging with their bib number to prevent littering (and associated penalties).
My pack is coming in at about 17.5 lbs without water. I am carrying about 10 lbs of food (20,000 kcals) and about 7.5 lbs of gear. About a half pound more than I wanted but I should eat fairly well.
Weather looks like hot with chances of rain on a couple of days, thus the heavier rain jacket is coming instead of the tachyon jacket. Route book is showing lots of "soft sand" through out the course. Aid stations are fairly close together, usually less than 7 miles so cameling-up should not be required too often.
The pre-race dinner is tonight the we are off to the bivouac tomorrow around noon.
