jolguk Aug 2007 12:12pm, 1 Aug 2007 337 posts	0 jolguk Yep. That's horrifically early. I'm hoping we leave a bit later with 2:09, really. Has there been any more posting on RW? I feel a bit silly posting simultaneously on both forums, really.

paul a Aug 2007 1:18pm, 1 Aug 2007 224 posts	0 paul a Remember there is no need to catch the first buses to the start, you will just wait at Ft Wadworth longer. It is a 10 min stroll from the Belvedere to the bus pick-up point. You can go later than 0430 and still have plenty of time.
Girlie Aug 2007 1:42pm, 1 Aug 2007 804 posts	0 Girlie I hope so, 4:30 seems ridiculously early, I'd need a nap before the start or worse might fall alseep on Staten Island!!! We fly out on the Thursday.

Aug 2007 5:32pm, 1 Aug 2007 20 posts	0 Me me, I have a question. I have heard that they use Gatorade on the NYM course for drinks - is this the same as Powerade that we get here???
jolguk Aug 2007 5:41pm, 1 Aug 2007 347 posts	0 jolguk I don't think so. I know my friend is planning on ordering Gatorade from the US or something. She's taking the training more seriously than me!
controversial Aug 2007 5:53pm, 1 Aug 2007 520 posts	0 controversial i'll be running with a blader back pack (like a camelbak but form another brand ) with my own energy drink. I use Taut which is a lot easier to drink than any glupyzade.
