RAAM Solo 2024 Day One It's funny ... some even ask why the heck do you do this again while knowing the pain and how tough the race is? RAAM Solo was on my bucket list and I had to get this one completed. Plus I wanted to show that if focused and dedicated to such a goal that as long as having an outstanding crew and being fully focused on the goal it is doable even not being long into Cycling at all. So after another year of preparation I am back at the start location in Oceanside CA again. And I had the feeling I will get this one done. Strategy was a bit different to 2023 ... I had a solid nutrition plan and also ... 2023 I pushed harder on day one while on 2024 race I decided to go a bit more conservative. Mhhh, however we do it it's never perfect 😂. Going conservative caused me some more issues on the road since I had to suffer heat a bit longer and did get into sand/dust storms that may have been avoidable if going a bit faster on first days.
