Keeping the focus … almost at TS #19

Just spoke to crew member Andy Schlief and he reports Mike’s approaching TS #19 with a little more energy. He’s going through the typical ups and downs a RAAM rider experiences. He took a 45 minute nap about 2:30 in the morning and we know Baloh got some good down time at the summit near TS #17. Since it was mainly a downhill coast to TS#18, Baloh’s probably going to be a little fresher on the climbs coming into 19. This news has motivated Mike to get the energy and focus back. He’s eating like a champ and had a couple of good BMs in the last few hours which has helped him feel a little better and stronger. This stomach ailment is just about history.

Just saw the BLOG post about Slovenia, great job. TeamTrevino is the "class outfit" of RAAM.

I had been hoping to generate enough Internet "chatter" that spectators all along the route would contribute "realtime" race info on rider/course conditions.

Oh well.

Hey Crew, get Mike some fennel. It looks like a big green onion. If you can pick it up from an organic supermarket, even better. Have him eat the white bulb part with a little olive oil and lemon, if his stomach will take it; otherwise just plain.

Mike, do remember how much Ginger helped at the Badwater? Fennel is going to help you 20 times over right now. Trust me.
