I am packing [4x] 290 cal's each

I was wondering if you guys had any other possible last min tips to prep me for the adventure at hand.
You sound like you've really thought about this -- like other posters have said, just make sure you relax and enjoy it rather than worrying about nutrition the whole way round. Aiming from 250cal/h seems a common recommendation - don't forget that 1bottle of HEED per hour is 100cal.
