137 days until RAAM and I way less panicked than I was last week.  We have had made some way on the planning and strategy front.  It sounds like we are going to break everyone up into two four man teams and rotate the on and off shifts between the two teams.  We still haven't figured out what those on or off shifts look like.  Are they 8 hours or 12 hours?  That is all a still TBD.  If all goes as planned each team will run with a crew chief and then we will have a master strategist back home to crunch the numbers and make any adjustments that are needed.  Now all we need is to find the people to fill these roles.   We have partnered with a super talented designer to build us a new logo as well as design our new jerseys.  I have seen the initial proofs and they look amazing.  I can't wait to get the finished product.   My training is going well.  Legs feel pretty flat today, but I would rather be flat today than out on the road in June.  I need to get my diet tuned up though.
