Episode #644: Unwrapping RAAM with Dino Sarti

Endurance Nation Podcast

Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Coach P interviews Endurance Nation member extraordinaire, Dino Sarti, on his RAAM experience.

A "late addition" to an 8-man Team, Dino recounts the highs and lows that constitute a 3500+ mile bike ride across the United States. Dino is a great storyteller, and he manages to make you laugh while he's also taking you to school on all things RAAM.

Key Talking Points include:

• The weight of the logistics not only pre-race but also at check-in and following the rules;
• Rules? How about a spiral bound book with turn-by-turn notes for an unmarked cross country course;
• How a 12-hour rest shift only netted 3 hours of sleep;
• Why exercise food was gone by the third day;
• What Dino would do differently next time around (don't tell his wife!).
