Morning Update
Just spoke to Byron and he reports Mike’s 40 minutes ahead of schedule and right where he wants to be. Other than typical early morning crankiness most RAAM riders experience, Mike’s content to let the Slovenians beat each other up.
Best part of this year – so far anyway – is there are no Robic spy vehicles hovering around Trevino and his crew. Last year they were hounded by those guys. “Seems like they’re all over Marko this year,” says Byron.
The most excitement, and a little scary experience, occurred late last night when Mike was flying down the switchbacks out of Prescott, Ariz. and he almost smacked straight into a deer. Fortunately, the deer moved the right way and a possible disaster was avoided.
Currently, Robic’s about 56 minutes ahead of Mike, while Baloh’s sitting at 41 minutes.

I doubt Robic's feeling Baloh. So I don't know what kind "beating up" is going on.
Robic's convinced he has to ride the early part of the race faster if he is to enter the midwest with the cushion necessary to beat Penseyres' record.
Meanwhile, you know your schedule, stick to it - and ye shall prevail!
PS - I assume you are "spotlighting" the switchbacks for Mike, eh?
