I read Javamom's blog and having a list for race day seemed like a very good ideal. Some of these things I got from Lisa, Phil and others. If I missed anything, please let me know. I put it on my blog with a label, so I can easily find it for each race. If you'd like it on your blog, please feel free to copy and paste or link to my blog.

Consider it deleted! I will be back to check out that list. See you this weekend!
Have fun this weekend, Pat. Good luck!
Gifts for supporters. Great idea. I'll have to remember that one!
Good luck this weekend! Hope you have fun and enjoy it.
Don't forget to pack some good attitude and a big smile. It usually is contageous and always makes a great gift:)
p.s. Ohio State looked really good.
Thank you for typing out your list!! I didn't have safety pins down on mine! Whew! I might have forgotten them! Off to keep running around like a chicken with my head cut off. :>)
