OK I am confirming the Rumors (which I also started) I am 100% committed to doing RAAM. (more…)

20min. ON / 20min. OFF / 20min. ON / 1hr40min OFF / REPEAT 52 TIMES!

After your rides, you will strip out of your sweat-soaked skinsuit, clean up, force yourself to eat and drink and probably beg for a leg rub-out. Your immediate job is to help your van-mate get ready for his ride. Checklist: Helmet, glasses, head/tail lights,
tire-pressure, no brake-rubbing and he’s GONE but so are 20 minutes of your sleep! (more…)

Hey,

That’s right. NBC will be giving a 2h broadcast of Race Across America this weekend. 2pm, but I’m not sure what time zone that’s for, so check your local listings.

I need to stop talking about RAAM so much and coughing so that maybe my voice will finally return. My body is finially starting to come back together, I’m still planning on camping, beaching and riding every other day this week before getting back into real training. Still having some lingering physical and mental-focus issue’s… (more…)

OK here’s a RAAM Summary, and I’m not going to talk about it any more:

Day 1.

We have no clue what we’re doing, and just ride hard as possible. One of my 20 minute pulls my HR averaged 193. Another time the van’s crew change dogs, and I’m out for 47min (when I set off thinking I had 15). Later in the night I get another mega pull, and I’m out for a few rotations from dehydration. (more…)
