What a lot to wear

I worked out today exactly what kit I would be wearing on the start line.

Usually when I go for a run I pop my head out of the door to test the weather; if it is cold I choose leggings over shorts and put on a long-sleeved top and if it is raining I add a shower proof top. In very bad weather I might add a light fleece.

So, as you can imagine,I was flabbergasted by my list of start-line kit. Starting from the bottom.

Trainers

Liner socks

40 Below socks

Under armour pants

Merino wool base layer

Power stretch leggings

Wind proof trousers

Merino Wool base layer top

Thermal mid-layer (times 2)

Lightweight shell top

Windproof top

Rucksack

Platapus bladder

Down Jacket (inside rucksack, but might wear it if very cold)

Liner gloves

Powerstretch gloves

Face mask

Neck warmer

Thermal Balaclava

Windproof hat

Goggles

Bumbag (with down mits in just incase it gets very cold)

Walking poles

and a sled with lots of gear in.

I need a little lie down now to recover from typing that lot.
