National Championships update #2 - Pre-Race meeting

Pre-race meeting is over.  There was a great vibe in the room...full of energy.  I admit, I really wish I was racing tomorrow.  Lori was pretty excited after the meeting because Robin Benincasa (adventure racing icon) gave her some Starbuck's coffee packets.  Below is a picture of Robin talking to the field. 

Hefner Bunny Pie (referred to as HBP from here on out) is now making some gear adjustments based on some of the info revealed at the meeting along with a final gear check.  They appear to be pretty excited and a touch nervous.  The race directors have been making numerous last minute course changes today because of the 5 inches of rain in the last 24 hours.  The weather has passed and the next 2 days should be perfect race weather...well, maybe a little windy.  Here's a shot of tonight's sunset.

Maps and checkpoint coordinates will be handed out at 5am tomorrow (Friday).  Cgeck back then!
