If you're drinking a Frapputhingy, be sure to take a little baggy when you need to go. Personally, I get the willies just thinking about it. Diuretics and marathons don't mix...but hey it's your party.

Since the start is not until 0700, and the busses are leaving early, I plan to pack a full breakfast (yogurt, bagel and Starbucks Frappaccino) and eat it on the bus. Also bringing:
- a disposable camera for pictures throughout the course (I did that for Marine Corps and got great pictures)
- a hat
- gel paks (not advisable unless you've used on practice runs)
- don't forget to put on sunscreen before leaving
- Another idea if you don't want to throw away sweats is to wear a large trashbag or get a mylar blanket from an auto emergency car kit
- I need to find out if they give out sponges; if not, I bring a hanky for wetting at water stations and wiping sweat

I guess while I'm at it, I'll ask if there are any tips in general for
this marathon. My plan:
- bring old sweats to discard, to stay warm in the morning
- not planning on carrying any water or food - the course seems well
stocked
- gonna bring my mp3 player and sunglasses, that's it
- gonna ride my bike to the bus departure point and lock it up there
- other tips? I haven't done a marathon before, wondering if I should
be bringing anything else, especially for this BSM
