Day 4 2am

Daniel with Dominque Briand (solo 50-59 age group)




I have just spoken to Dan, he sounds great no real health issues...tired but then isn't everyone! He sounded postitive, still laughing and I feel happy knowing he's OK! They had the choice to push to Taos now or rest for 4/5 hours and then proceed. ..that puts them pretty near the cut off but they will make it! They've opted to eat, sleep and continue as on THEIR plan tomorrow...I can't help feeling that sticking to their sensible sleep plan will pay off. The weather was pretty bad today so he only(!) covered 214 miles in the 24 hour period, Dan and the team are aware of this but they still want to stick to their plan. Fingers crossed that the weather improves tomorrow and for the next few days!

RAAM site all jammed up - but the Alan Tracker does the business. Looks like you are heading North from Taos. Hope the weather improves - I think the plan is going to pay off big time.

During my meager daily exercise I think of Dan and his mega adventure. Glad to see all is well so far - we are keeping an eye on you from far away! Hope the humidity and temperatures are somewhat lower over there!
