I wonder if Barbara might challenge one or more PBP records next year, riding much closer to her home.

B. Buatois had a very impressive ride. She is a supremely capable athlete.
Also notable is that Tim Woudenberg won the men's 50 and over solo race too (on a recumbent).

I liked how the RAAM was such an international event.

Heh. Yeah, but he was ahead of each of the other racers when they DNF'ed. I wonder how the DNF rate this year compares to last. I thought I heard that the weather in Colorado, in particular, was quite bad, taking its toll on everyone.

a lot of the slower riders missed most of the really nasty weather, although it was hot at the beginning and in the Midwest. Woudenberg finished faster than 4 of the under-50 men and all of the women, so I'd say that was an impressive ride. I'm impressed by all of the solo riders for that matter, tough ride.

The woman's race was very exciting this year, I had a lot of fun following them all. In her pictures after the end of the race she doesn't look like she is tired at all. Just more tan than she was at the start.
I wonder if Barbara might challenge one or more PBP records next year, riding much closer to her home.
