Arc of Attrition by UTMB - Pre Race Mandatory Kit Check

[@tompothecary12]

Great video and the very best of luck to all that is running arc. Would be great to see all this packed up in your vest. I’ll be dot watching once we get some of your numbers

[@robsbeenrunning]

Thanks Tom. I'll take a picture when it is packed in my vest, although I did post one on my social media accounts last weekend. Bib No. 427 for the dot watchers. 🙂 Cheers Rob

@@UltraRunnerMark Nice one Mark, see you there.

[@philipwilliams7650]

Good luck in the 100 Rob. I’m down for the 50 😬

[@robsbeenrunning]

@@philipwilliams7650 Good luck to you too Phil. 👍

Good luck, good video, I'm attempting the 50! Nice to hear your thoughts on the kit list are sumilar to mine!

[@robsbeenrunning]

@@simonseas Good luck to you too Simon. Hope the video was useful. Thanks

See you at the start Rob, and maybe near the finish as our bibs are only 20 apart, so UTMB thinks we will pace pretty similarly ;=) Just a note about the Emergency 800Kcal, this can not be consumed (unless you have DNF'd) so I went for 2 x B&M Flapjacks these were just £0.38p ea and only weigh 110g.

@@martinweston8147 Thanks Martin, good to note, not that I plan on eating it, but you never know. I am sure we will share some miles on the coast path. Looking forward to the grind. 😊

Good luck Rob, see you on the coach :)

[@robsbeenrunning]

@@nigelb1851 See you on the coach mate, it will be fun!

[@nigelb1851]

@@robsbeenrunning wet fun, what's not to like? forecasts can change, but don't think we'll be as lucky as last year.

[@TomMorgan1066]

Rob check your warm base layers that they comply as the rules have changed since last year the base layers must be 180g medium and the Montane Dart Lite long sleeve tops (I was originally planning to use) no longer comply

[@the_southcoast_runner]

They won't weigh them

[@TomMorgan1066]

@the_southcoast_runner I suspect not but I have done (non UTMB) events where they have weighed some kit and I would hate the stress of worrying if my kit would pass the kit check especially knowing it does not meet the spec

[@robsbeenrunning]

Hi Tom, The kit list says that if the tops are not 180g, they must be paired with a wind proof jacket wit hDWR protection, so i have one of these to tick off that requirement. Thanks mate.

[@TomMorgan1066]

Good luck Rob I am out due to injury but hope to be back for 26 - have an amazing time!

[@robsbeenrunning]

@@TomMorgan1066 Thank you Tom. Sorry to hear you are injured, wishing you a speedy recovery.

[@ActiveIdeas]

See you there Rob!! What did your pack weight come to?

[@robsbeenrunning]

Yes, see you there. :-) I haven't weighed my pack, but it is defintely not light, even with the bare minimum.
