Big Sur will have sweat bags available, so you don't have to worry about wearing
throw-away sweats, unless you want to. The Body Glide comment was spot on.
That stuff really works well. I would also recommend putting on some sport's
suntan lotion (hard to sweat off) before getting dressed in the morning. Food
wise, just like any race, I wouldn't recommend any fiber and keep the
fat/protein low. I like to use gels and a gatorade type drink, but whatever
works for you (same as training). Good luck and have fun.

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
