Ok more tips:
1)
Carry minimal weight. Just follow the guidelines. 3 litres of water
per team, energy bars, energy gel packs (if you got buy) and the simple first aid kit prepared by henry. DUN BRING EXTRAS. The lighter the weight, the easier for you to run. 3 litres of water per team will be enough cuz there are many many water pts along the way (approx one water pt for every 5km). First aiders will also be on standby along the way, so the very simple first aid kit given will be sufficient. And water proof all your belongings. Put them in zipblock or something.2)
Strategise. Distribute your bags such that the fittess member gets to carry the heaviest weight. For example for my team, roy gets the heaviest weight, followed by JJ and me. Sl dun carry any backpack at all. Balance everything so that the whole team is able to advance
together without much problems. Work out everything and most importantly,
communicate among yourselves. Its all about teamwork.
Just a note. Participate more in adventure races. They are more applicable to ODAC and these competitions give you outdoor adventure experiences. Some examples are ATC, Adventure Race Singapore, etc. Many of them are organised by sports council, NUS or NTU. Check out the web to find out more about these events.
Not to forget, our yearly NVM.

History
NY ODAC was established in 1978 and was formerly known as OAC. The motto of OAC was
"The experience is YOURS".
During that time, OAC focused more on discipline and was more regimental as compared to the current ODAC. Mrs Koh was the teacher-in-charge then.
Furthermore, 4 marine groups, namely Blue Whale, Dolphin, Marlin and Stingray were initiated in the early years of OAC.
In 2003, Mr Thaddeus Lawrence took over the 1st ODAC. The 1st ODAC is also known as the 25th OAC and has a strength of about 20.
Mr Lawrence took part in the Sahara Desert Run in July 2009.
The motto of ODAC is
"Challenge your limits". As an odacian,we strive to explore and push our limits, be it physically or mentally, especially when participating in outdoors activities.
