race across america

An untraditional commentary for a traditional race?

By walker on 6/22/2006 on walker's blog

If you haven't read about the Traditional Solo winner of the Ride Across America race (RAAM), then you are missing out on the best in race commentary that I've ever experienced. This article has references to states. In other words, traditional race commentary might go something like this:

"Oh, the racers are now heading into climbing section of this 110 km race. The L'Alpe d'Huez is one of hardest climbs on the tour."

However, the article states it very differently. It goes something like this:

"In Utah, the race leader suffered from some bleeding saddle sores and had to drop out. In second place was so and so and he attacked from Colorado to Kansas."

I have to say that I'm very impressed.
