Lotoja 2013

[Johnny Rad]

I've never done sag, but I certainly respect those that make the event possible. Listening to their stories over dinner after the race is an eye opener: racing from feedzone to zone, jockeying for prime parking spots at each feedzone (which are a short hike from the actual feedzone), duking out prime real estate in the actual feedzone, cheerleading for the riders, reminding the same riders to hit the road again already and then high-tailing it to the next feedzone ... always wary of each and every one of the riders they're supporting. Hats off to the sag crews!

I'm excited

I have lodging set up in both spots- got a room in a b&b in Logan(it was last place left) and we rented a little 470sq ft condo for a couple nights in teton village (found it really cheap! probably b/c it is so small).

I'm not close enough to go recon the course, but I have figured that I have climbs near me that mimic the profile of the ones in the race, so I am going to be training on those. I know I can do a century, so that part doesn't scare me- i'm racing solo so I really just need to make sure I get a good starting position, a good front group to roll with and just get through it 35 miles at a time
