The
following is a checklist of the equipment and food used by the team
during the 2004 run. It is interesting to note that, while all 4 athletes
are similarly accomplished, they are fueled by a wide range of foods.
Also important to note that Wade and Dom Repta are are vegan, and as
such, are restricted to eating foods that do not include animal
products. Dave Cressman is vegetarian, so he doesn't eat meat.
Jackson likes beer and burgers while he runs.
Assumptions
- team was
met by crew at distances ranging from 10-35
kilometers. This means maximum
distance to assistance was no more than
18 kilometers in either direction. It
also means that there was a lot less gear and
food needed than if this were an
unassisted trail run
- crew set
up all of the aid stations. This allowed the runners to focus on the
run
- weather is
generally warm (10C - 30C) and dry in the mid-summer
