Race Start Changed to 7:15 & Road Rations

Ragnar sent an email saying our start time has changed 
They changed our start time to 7:15am. I am going to change the prior timeline summary post by moving up everything by 30 minutes. 

Ragnar also notified us of an option to have food delivered to us at the starting line.
The company is called "Road Rations". If you click on the link, you will be taken to an overview of what they have to offer.  The meals are supposed to be the perfect nutrition and calories needed for a relay race.  There are essentially three options.  We have to order by team, so if anyone is interested, please let me know by April 2nd.

  1. So Van 1 is meeting at the Wrights at 4:30 AM. No problem. I think I'll plan to go to bed early the night before.

  3. I'm feeling pretty good about being in Van 2 right now. But then again Van 1's Friday night schedule seems less painful than Van 2's. I think we're all just a little crazy.

  4. I'm not sure many of us will get much sleep the night before no matter which van we are in. Nervous excitement...
