Since the run is sponsored by Gore, the company I work for a bunch of people from work will be headed to the race not to mention a bunch of other teams from Flag will be there so I should know a good number of people at the race. I've been told that it's a ton of fun as most of your day you are hanging out.
This week I get to work on what to bring: mandatory items that I mush carry with me each day on the run are a rain jacket, warm hat and gloves, and a survival blanket (just got this last night). Then there are a bunch of optional items. Other items that are going to be needed are clothes for all types of temperatures since I'll be camping in the mountains at night and running in who knows what kind of weather during the day. To make it even more interesting the race provides you with a duffel bag and that's all that you can bring with you. In there you have to fit whatever you will want for the race, including your sleeping bag and pad, any special foods, extra shoes, etc. They transport the bag to the camping location each night, as each day is point to point, so whatever isn't in that bag you won't have.
Well with the race being less than a week away I'm not really nervous or worried, at least not yet. The race is going to be what it's going to be. While the running may be hard I'm excited for the mountain scenery of Colorado and spending most of my day just hanging out. If you care to follow I think they post results for the race after each stage on the website, first stage is Sunday Aug 22.
