- 3. The RAAM is considered to be the single toughest race in the world. It eclipses the mileage ridden in the Grand Tours of Cycling, including the Tour de France, all on a compressed time frame. What is the Race Across America?
- 4. “ Racers dread the first day of RAAM more than any other. The Sonoran Desert, like its cousin the Mojave to the north, is one of Mother Nature’s cruelest and most feared environments. This first part of the course is a death zone. The scorching heat, desiccating air, and windswept sand produce a discouraging number of DNFs [Did Not Finish], even among race favorites.”1 1 Snyder, Amy (2011-06-01). Hell on Two Wheels (p. 38). Triumph Books. Kindle Edition. What are the challenges?
- 5. How will analytics help? Training = stress that creates adaptation. Recover and repeat.

Editor's Notes
- "Race Across America" A Film by Stephen Auerbach This powerful documentary (raceacrossamericamovie.com) from award winning filmmaker Stephen Auerbach (bicycledreamsmovie.com) tells the inspirational story of the toughest race in the world. Half of the competitors don't finish, and many end up in the hospital. The journey is so intense that all who participate, and spectate are changed forever. Winner of the Boulder International Film Festival. RACE ACROSS AMERICA originally aired on NBC-TV, garnishing the highest Nielsen ratings ever for a cycling program in broadcast television history. https://youtu.be/5l8lHC8KK24
- A few additional questions did come up that I wasn't sure about and wanted your input. .The Expo Hours are as follows. Per the Expo Team, Sunday is the day with the most traffic. Will we want David to be available for Sunday and all of Monday? . . .Will we need internet access at the site where David will be on his bike? If so, does it need to be a dedicated port or would the Wi-Fi for the Expo suffice. .Will we want some sort of signage? If so, would something as simple as a "Monitor Wrap" that says "Analytics in Action" work or were you thinking something bigger, bolder, etc.? .What about meals - Do we need to plan on special meals and meal times for David? (Lauren - please check with David on this.)
