I'm sure some of you remember an area biker named Jen Krebs . . . she moved away several years ago and is now in Colorado. But she was instrumental in hooking me up with a lot of local riders back in the day and Donna and I continue to stay in contact with her. She's a pretty cool person. She must be if she's friends with me. Anyway, since we tout our "endurance" sports, I thought this might be of interest to the YBR crew.
Jen Krebs is racing RAW this year. That's Race Across the West, a new part of RAAM, Race Across America. RAW is the first 1000+ miles of the RAAM course, from Oceanside, CA to Taos, NM. In 92 hours. She's racing it. By herself. Yes, over 1000 miles in 92 hours. Or less. And she's using the effort to raise awareness of eating disorders. She qualified for this by setting a new Women's course record at the ADK544 in 2006. That was a 544-mile race in the Adirondacks. Sweet.
Donna and I are helping out on the support crew for her RAW effort so we get to drive around the West for a week and a half in June following Jen on her bike. It's our rest period in our training schedule.
If you get a chance, check out her website at http://www.jenniferkrebs.com/
