A US jaunt

I'm about to tour the US for a couple of weeks on business, on a rather punishing schedule of customer visits. Next weekend I had the choice of either being in the New York area (after last meeting on Friday) or the Tampa, Florida area (before first meeting on Monday). I scoured the UltraRunning calendar to see how I might keep myself occupied and on the boil for the following weekend's Round Rotherham, and I found the Can Lake 50. That settled it - New York (or Canandaigua, to be more precise) it would be for the weekend. Uncharacteristically I have plumped for the shorter of the two distances, only for practical and logistical reasons. 50k should still keep me out of mischief. This will be my first US race since Western States 2009. I'm quite looking forward to it.

    Hi uc, I might wear my skeleton cycling top and really look the part.

    Hi Dawn, I'm looking forward to the RRR. I'll see you there!

    LOL, the picture on linked page seems a strange selling point, but I can see from the trelined shorelines it could be a scenic, fun and challenging event.

    Question, Nick, about the RRR. Are there any required items that we have to carry (maps, compass, waterproofs, etc, like in LDWA events) or is it up to us individually to decide what we need? Thanks!
    Oh, and BTW, what kind of Nathan pack do you have, the 1.5 or 2L? I'm thinking of getting one, they look very comfortable.
