Team Donate Life-Beauty & the Beast: Now She is One.
The ole two person team reduced to one rider story developing here. Deborah Georges is carrying on as a solo rider, however RAAM fans should be aware that she is still officially classified as a 2 person team and must meet all team requirements to officially complete RAAM. Deborah Georges, 49, of Miami, FL has been riding solo now for a little more than 24 hours. In that time she has lost only about a half a mile an hour in overall speed. That is pretty freaking impressive! However, the emotional charge of “going it alone”, can often be like fueling a campfire with newspaper, a big burst of energy which quickly dissipates and then actually inhibits the flames. But a good start is a great start! Now the rider and crew must work together to stabilize their routine and reduce emotions, they are now in the business end of RAAM. They must find a calm, clinical base to operate from and focus on the mechanics of RAAM racing, - safety, speed, nutrition and rest. Georges is not lacking in courage and stranger things have happened so lets keep our fingers crossed and see how she goes.
Pretty freaking impressive is right! Way to go Deborah!
