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

- 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

Thanks all for BSIM tips. Most of us have (presumably) done triathlons for a while and know most of it, but there is always that one little tip that may help!...

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....
