Thank you for your answers!  |
Ah, okay - if you're doing the long one then I could understand the need for water, though I still think its optional. I've only done one of the long ones, but managed without a hydration pack and just wore a belt where I could bring gels and some electrolyte pills. It did limit me to taking the gels / pills at the water stations though.
Good luck with the race! I wouldn't mind hearing about how it went. The long one I did was at Sun Peaks and I really didn't like it as we basically sumitted 3 mountains - it was more of a hard hike than a race. Curious to see what other Beasts are like to see if that was a one off or not.
