Training has been great. Lots of ups and downs. Trying to find out the best training and nutrition approach to be in the best shape possible for this race. I have done events like this before (long rides) however never "racing" against the clock. We have to be able to finish (will) RAAM under the 10 days cut off time to be official finishers of RAAM. No extra time, no shorter distances, same number of riders, everything just like the able body riders. We put together just about the best team of handcyclists for this race, Vico, Hannes and Pat and myself are committed and well accomplished riders with one goal in mind: getting it done.
I think it will be an awesome adventure for everyone involved, including you reading this post. Follow us on our adventure, learn about the Challenged Athletes Foundation and support us as we take on, one of the toughest events in the world.
