This year, I sat glued to the computer. I was supporting Boyer and his crew... as they competed in the Enduro division. His crew chief, Kerry Ryan, was the one who helped me with training, logistics and equipment last year.
It was amazing to see how Kerry managed to get Boyer to victory with a 3 person crew. My neckbrace came handy again, as this time it was Fedexed to Boyer in Missouri.
The year after RAAM is really hard. Body, mind, soul takes time to recover. I have tried racing a few double centuries. Despite winning, my heart is not in it... so I have decided to let the racing bee, until I feel the edge and the heart has returned to racing mood. There is a time and a season for everything...
But staying in close contact with Kerry this year... seeing his excellence in crewing...Kerry told me 'You can set the enduro course record Cat'. .... and I answered 'Yes, but I can't do it unless you are my crewchief'. .... so even though I vowed this last year that RAAM was a one time adventure,... maybe there will be another RAAM adventure in the future.
Girls... I think you should get a team together and do it... it is such a fun event.
