This past Friday was filled with last minute packing, boat repair lessons, and a quick dolly practice session, all followed by an awesome send-off party with great food and even better company!
Dameon departed Belfast Saturday morning with MURSU lashed to the top of his Subaru, armed with the soundtrack to While Line Fever and a handle of Allens; only 3066 miles to Port Townsend, Washington. Crammed inside are 42 bags of food, 8 dry bags full of camping gear, two GPS, and bear spray. The food bags are the stuff of dreams (or nightmares) for endurance athletes; protein powder, dried pasta, and Snickers. Three years ago Leigh felt they didn’t eat enough calories on the race, and this year, with God as her witness, she will not be hungry again.
Check out the packing list post for a detailed food list (coming soon).
