My afternoon at Edge Integrative Wellness!

Today I had my first visit over to Edge Integrative Wellness.  Edge has brought me on board as a sponsored athlete and is helping me with nutrition and body composition analysis--basically making sure I'm eating optimally and developing my body through training and not wasting it away.  After the visit, I really get what Maria means by "Integrative Wellness".  ​ 
I have an accurate assessment of my body composition: 9% body fat, and detailed knowledge about my hydration and body composition with her InBody 570.  The device was really amazing, and no more invasive than getting weighed barefoot while holding handlebars.  Through the blood examination I learned I can do better with micronutrients, improve my food absorption, and should eat more good fat. Maria could tell all that by studying my blood samples through the microscope while I followed along on a video monitor and she explained what she was seeing.  Even before today, Maria and Edge had been helping me understand the need for more fat, both on and off the bike, which has helped me craft the feeding approach on the bike.  Those of you that know me know that I am hard to impress--today I was super impressed.  ​ ​Check out the videos below, and the Edge Facebook feed.
I'll be introducing the RAW 2019 crew shortly, but am thrilled to know that Maria will be along for the RAW 2019 as a key member of the crew. Her nutritional knowledge will be invaluable, and she is a gifted athlete as well.   If we have a medical emergency, we will have her there as well.  I've always strived to build teams with the best people, and I'm really humbled by the team we are assembling for RAW 2019 (and hopefully RAAM 2020/2021).  All I need to do is keep the bike moving east.

    ​My interest in ultracycling dates back when I first started seriously riding a bike in college in the early 1980s. This is my RAAM story preparing to compete in the Race Across the West in 2020 and RAAM 2021.
