Why racing RAAM? Or maybe why even another attempt to race RAAM Solo? For those not knowing… I start cycling in 2020 only as easy workout option. My first ultra distance race was Sebring 2022 and I did better than I expected (3rd overall and 440 miles). With that I qualified for RAAM and signed up with zero idea what RAAM was about. Since I signed up and learned about RAAM I decided to push for the finish line. Increased training for endurance and power improvements. First RAAM attempt and first ultra cycling season was 2023. Unfortunately had food poisoning kick me out so I only did a bit over 2100 miles and signed ip for 2024. Changed training and focused on completing RAAM this year as top goal.
