Pack to hold it all. ______________________________________________ Do yourself a training favor and load your pack with at least 20 pounds for all training seesions. This is the average weight of your pack for a 24 hour race, so training without this much at least, will result in a nasty suprise come race day. As always bring anything else you feel you need to stay comfortable and train efficiently. Just remember to minimize weight whenever possible.
