Race Prep - 212b and 214b - Travel Documentation and Final Packing

212b and 214b are continuations of courses 212a and 214a.

212b - Travel Documentation - In course 212a you double checked your reservations with the airline, hotel and rental car companies. You also verified times, addresses and reviewed maps of the area. Course 212b involves printing any travel documentation you need from the computer (boarding passes, maps, reservation confirmations) or at least writing down the confirmation numbers, phone numbers, and addresses of necessary reservations. We have been to St. George before (twice in my case), so I technically do not need a map anymore. However, I do have back-up directions from the airport to remind me the highway number and exit number of the hotel.

214b - Final Packing - Hopefully you have already gotten a good start on your packing. Hopefully the clothes that you plan to pack are clean and perhaps you have started to gather some of the necessary items for your trip. Finish packing as soon as possible the day before your trip so that you have some time to unwind before bed. Set aside your last minute toiletries and clothing to travel in so that you are organized and ready to leave when it is time.

Make sure you have necessary cash for your trip as well so that you are not rushing to the ATM on your way to the airport. Yeah, yeah, there are ATMs everywhere, but do you really want to worry about finding an ATM when all you want to do is relax and prepare for your run?

On a personal note...Chad and I both made a major dent in our packing for this trip last night. We (he) is notorious about waiting until last minute to pack and often has to stay up late the night before we travel. Not this time! :)
