Race plan

This document will serve as a project document for the 42nd Spartathlon race. As a note to self and for crew (and for others that might find this interesting). A document with all the details relevant for this project. To make sure that I outline the race strategy (for myself), the gear list, nutrition place etc etc. Note: This document will continuously be updated.
