Just to be clear, I don't recommend you go buy trail shoes just for that leg if you are never going to wear them again. Just plan on feeling every rock and pebble you step on with the bottom of your foot. That road is very rocky. If it's raining, it will be muddy as well.

Also, your second leg is going to be freezing cold, so I would recommend at least a long sleeve tech shirt. I was miserable last year during the night, it's cold up in those mountains.

This race isn't like a fully supported road race where they give you a drink every mile. You and your team are on your own, so be sure and bring everything you will need to stay comfortable.
