I am usually over prepared but here is what I carry with me on runs.
- Fuel Belt: Holds backup water, and a small pocket to carry things
- Glasses: Keeps the bugs and crap out of my eyes. Makes thing clearer too.
- Reflective Vest: Yes I now I get 10 nerd points for the vest, but I do not try to argue with cars. I want them to avoid hitting me.
- Pepper Spray: Around my neck I carry a small can of it. Just in case. (I have had things thrown at me by drivers)
- Ipod: Music to listen to.
- Flashlight: To see.
- Phone: for emergencies and to send pictures to facebook.
- GU Energy Gel: Keeps the motor running on long rides. It tastes like crap but it works.
- Chafing gel: Keeps things going.
- Main Water Bottle: Wrapped around the hand to make it easier to carry.
That’s what I carry on my runs.
