This helps me figure what to wear. You always want to be sure you are comfortable for your race. It should be something you have been running in, and not new for race day. So forget the new outfit you want to buy at the expo. You want to be comfortable, and have no surprises with your clothing.
So what will I wear? For most of my long runs, I have been wearing a Pearl Izumi sleeveless shirt. I love this shirt. It wicks away the moisture, and dries very quickly, so I never feel like I am wearing a sweaty shirt. I have tights I like wearing quite a bit. They are shorts, so yes, I may look like a ballet dancer in them, but I don't care. The problem I have with running shorts is the same problem millions of other have - they rise up in the crotch area, and look like an upside down "V". That is annoying when I am running. The tights don't rise up, and the issue of chaffing is greatly reduced. NO ONE WANTS TO CHAFE.
I will have a hat - just need to figure which one. Because it will be cool in the morning - arm warmers. I swear by them now. My shoes are the Brooks Dyad. Socks....typically I wear Balega. My other sock of choice is Feetures. Of course NO ONE should run without Body Glide - trust me on this.
Got the clothes all set....next I figure the nutrition and hydration.

Okay. I have to ask. What is Body Glide? It sounds a little kinky. ;>)
Also, arm warmers. Does someone manufacture them, specifically? Or do you use small leg warmers? Or does someone knit them for you?
