MAY 5, 2007 ELEVATION RESULTS I want to thank my sponsors for all their support this season without them I wouldn't be able to race as strong as I have been. Thank you.

Love your bike clean it too--David Clopton Kenda Tires-- You must ride the C2C tire developed especially for RAAM- Jim Wannamaker I have been training and working so much lately I haven't been able to issue my race reports as promptly as I used to. Breathless Agony. 114 miles and 12,000 feet. Of which 11,000 feet in 73 miles. We climb to a max altitude of 8,443 up to Onyx Summit. I had a a great day on the bike. My goal 5:45 and top 30. I did even better than I expected. In training I had done the course in 5:51 so I thought 5:45 was doable. I finished in 5:40 and 21st place overall and 7th out of 144 in 40-49 age group. |
