They start with a basic "plan" for which checkpoints they intend to take various length rests at... This is actually needed in order to put together the supplies in the "drop bags" they send out on the trail weeks before the race...<br /><br />Much like Patton's famous quote about war plans being worthless once the shooting starts, the Teams' plans become very "dynamic" once they are out on the trail... Not necessarily "worthless" but the "reality" trumps the "plan" every time...<br /><br />I'm about to post a link to an interview with Aliy in which she talks about this very issue...

Do most teams go into the race set on their 24 at X and their 8 at Y, or does weather and overall performance play a big role in determining where/when they'll stop for the long rests? <br /><br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-1751801850215301872010-03-10T10:06:07.400-09:002010-03-10T10:06:07.400-09:00Thanks for the update!
