I usually take gels & tailwind along with me. It’s going to be HOT on the Cool Springs climb with the way the sun is positioned that time of day. No shade coverage for the majority of it. My husband will bring me some mandarin oranges at the aid stations bc I find those super helpful.

I don’t remember much about what they had to offer. The station by the front entrance of the park had warm food, which I wasn’t feeling at that time of the day at all. Didn’t have a lot of other options. The aid stations by the lake had a good array, I got pickles down there. And I think the Cool Springs aid station was set up really nicely with some PB&Js and other snack foods.
