Shopping for my trip

My trip is just one month away and I have so many things to get done before I go. I'm doing research on duffel bags. I want one with rollers. Dave told me to look at hockey bags, because they are durable. I will also carry a backpack which will have my sleeping bag. I need to buy that too.

Day one we will be climbing 10,000 feet up for 24 miles. I was told that I might still be out there in the dark as we will be starting late that day. So now, I'm doing research on lights. I have to figure out if I want one that goes on the head or in my hand. I will already be carrying a water bottle so I think I'll go for one on the head. My ultrarunner friend, Rob, told me about one that clips to a visor so I think that will be the way to go.

I would like a new outfit. Hey, it's important to look nice. Hopefully it will make me feel better. I remember my first Ironman. I wanted an outfit that matched my bike. Believe it or not, now all my outfits match my bikes. Hey, if you're not first, at least your in style. In style I want to be in the mountains.

Does anyone want to go shopping?
