00:00:15,582 [Cloe] In 2014, my dad, John Tarlton 5 00:00:15,616 --> 00:00:19,353 competed in the toughest ultra-endurance bike race 6 00:00:19,386 --> 00:00:20,687 in the world, 7 00:00:20,721 --> 00:00:23,290 the Race Across America. 8 00:00:23,323 --> 00:00:25,626 It's known as RAAM. 9 00:00:25,659 --> 00:00:28,061 [John] There are approximately 300 people 10 00:00:28,095 --> 00:00:29,663 who have ever completed RAAM. 11 00:00:29,696 --> 00:00:31,732 This is not for everybody. 12 00:00:31,765 --> 00:00:33,634 [Cloe] Unlike the Tour de France, 13 00:00:33,667 --> 00:00:36,303 which has multiple stages, allowing riders 14 00:00:36,336 --> 00:00:38,238 to rest and recover overnight, 15 00:00:38,272 --> 00:00:40,741 in RAAM, the clock never stops. 16 00:00:41,475 --> 00:00:44,344 The race starts in Oceanside, California 17 00:00:44,378 --> 00:00:46,613 and finishes 3000 miles away 18 00:00:46,647 --> 00:00:48,749 in Annapolis, Maryland. 19 00:00:48,782 --> 00:00:51,752 [Jenny] Extreme heat, extreme climbing, 20 00:00:51,785 --> 00:00:53,220 extreme everything. 21 00:00:54,354 --> 00:00:56,523 [Cloe] Riders must pass through timed checkpoints 22 00:00:56,557 --> 00:00:58,425 or they are disqualified. 23 00:00:58,458 --> 00:01:01,395 That averages to ten and a half miles per hour 24 00:01:01,428 --> 00:01:03,463 for 12 days without getting off the bike 25 00:01:03,497 --> 00:01:05,799 for things like a bathroom break or sleep. 26 00:01:05,832 --> 00:01:08,168 I can't understand or even comprehend 27 00:01:08,201 --> 00:01:10,537 that somebody can ride their bike this far this fast. 28 00:01:10,571 --> 00:01:13,273 [Cloe] All riders are fully supported 29 00:01:13,307 --> 00:01:15,742 with a follow crew, providing food, liquids, 30 00:01:15,776 --> 00:01:17,811 directions and a place to rest 31 00:01:17,844 --> 00:01:19,646 for maybe two hours a day. 32 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,381 [Kevin] You may just be sleeping 33 00:01:21,415 --> 00:01:23,350 on the side of the road, it's all dependent on 34 00:01:23,383 --> 00:01:25,185 how far John goes that day. 35 00:01:25,652 --> 00:01:28,522 [Cloe] My dad crossed the finish line in 2014, 36 00:01:28,555 --> 00:01:31,558 but he was only a couple hours away from being disqualified. 37 00:01:31,592 --> 00:01:34,261 [John] You don't want that DNF behind your name, 38 00:01:34,294 --> 00:01:35,662 Did Not Finish. 39 00:01:35,696 --> 00:01:37,598 [Cloe] This year, he's a lot stronger 40 00:01:37,631 --> 00:01:40,867 and he has new ideas about nutrition and performance. 41 00:01:42,269 --> 00:01:45,205 His goal is to reach the podium. 42 00:01:45,238 --> 00:01:47,374 His support crew will have some veterans 43 00:01:47,407 --> 00:01:49,643 from my dad's last race, like my brother, Jack. 44 00:01:49,676 --> 00:01:51,778 -We will figure it out. - [Cloe] But this year, 45 00:01:51,812 --> 00:01:53,347 there's one big difference. 46 00:01:54,214 --> 00:01:55,849 Mom decided to join the crew... 47 00:01:55,882 --> 00:01:57,784 I need my team in the car, let's go. 48 00:01:57,818 --> 00:02:00,554 ...and she convinced me and my little brother, 49 00:02:00,587 --> 00:02:01,922 Cooke, to go too. 50 00:02:01,955 --> 00:02:04,257 The whole family will be there 51 00:02:04,291 --> 00:02:06,793 for every painful mile. 52 00:02:06,827 --> 00:02:09,229 [suspenseful music] 53 00:02:14,668

00:02:42,562 we have all the pit stops ready. 57 00:02:42,596 --> 00:02:44,264 Doing all that timing. 58 00:02:44,297 --> 00:02:46,333 [cheering] 59 00:02:46,366 --> 00:02:47,734 [announcer] Three, two, one. 60 00:02:47,768 --> 00:02:50,203 [crowd clapping] 61 00:02:51,905 --> 00:02:54,408 It's the 38th running of the Race Across America. 62 00:02:54,441 --> 00:02:56,510 This morning's races will include racers 63 00:02:56,543 --> 00:02:58,578 that are going just through Durango for RAW, 64 00:02:58,612 --> 00:03:00,280 Race Across the West 65 00:03:00,313 --> 00:03:02,349 and solo riders are going all the way to Annapolis. 66 00:03:03,316 --> 00:03:07,921 [announcer] Next up is an all ladies team out of Texas. 67 00:03:07,954 --> 00:03:10,357 [Gary] Today we're going to have a fairly cool start. 68 00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:12,259 But when we get over Mount Palomar 69 00:03:12,292 --> 00:03:13,794 and down into the valley, on the other side, 70 00:03:13,827 --> 00:03:15,362 we'll be seeing temperatures of 100 71 00:03:15,395 --> 00:03:16,763 and 110 degrees out there. 72 00:03:16,797 --> 00:03:18,398 So it's really stressful for the riders. 73 00:03:18,899 --> 00:03:20,233 Thinking about the heat. 74 00:03:23,003 --> 00:03:24,604 I can't win the race in the desert, 75 00:03:24,638 --> 00:03:26,740 but I can lose the race in the desert. 76 00:03:27,641 --> 00:03:29,409 Try not to get burned. 77 00:03:29,443 --> 00:03:32,245 [announcer] Next up, from Wisconsin 78 00:03:32,279 --> 00:03:34,915 Mr. David Haase. 79 00:03:36,016 --> 00:03:39,286 Four, three, two, one. 80 00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:41,421 Good luck, Dave. 81 00:03:41,455 --> 00:03:43,824 [John] RAAM, it's a bit of an adventure. 82 00:03:44,658 --> 00:03:47,594 It's sometimes referred to as the Everest of cycling. 83 00:03:48,662 --> 00:03:51,465 And I think that's an apt description. 84 00:03:51,498 --> 00:03:54,901 Biking longer distances is a greater challenge, 85 00:03:54,935 --> 00:03:56,803 but also has greater rewards. 86 00:03:56,837 --> 00:03:59,005 [announcer] Three, two, one, good luck. 87 00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:01,708 [crowd whistling and cheering] 88 00:04:01,742 --> 00:04:04,744 So our goal is to podium 89 00:04:04,778 --> 00:04:08,548 within my age group of 50 to 60. 90 00:04:08,582 --> 00:04:12,319 And raising awareness and money for Stanford Cancer. 91 00:04:12,853 --> 00:04:15,422 Fifty to fifty-nine is very strong. 92 00:04:15,455 --> 00:04:17,057 There are several riders 93 00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:20,327 who have second place finishes. 94 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,663 The classic is, like, Mark Pattinson. 95 00:04:23,697 --> 00:04:25,599 He has more second place finishes 96 00:04:25,632 --> 00:04:26,733 without a win than anybody. 97 00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:29,069 I've come 4th once 98 00:04:29,102 --> 00:04:30,604 and 2nd four times. 99 00:04:32,005 --> 00:04:33,540 I dropped out twice, 100 00:04:33,573 --> 00:04:35,308 everybody drops out at some point. 101 00:04:35,342 --> 00:04:36,843 Christoph Strasser is obviously, 102 00:04:36,877 --> 00:04:38,545 if he finishes the race, it's tough to beat. 103 00:04:38,578 --> 00:04:40,380 Very tough to beat. 104 00:04:40,413 --> 00:04:42,382 Every time it's-- it's a new challenge. 105 00:04:42,415 --> 00:04:43,850 It's-- it's a new experience. 106 00:04:43,884 --> 00:04:45,585 You have other people in your crew, 107 00:04:45,619 --> 00:04:47,521 you have other racers, there's different weather. 108 00:04:47,554 --> 00:04:50,357 Why does Roger Federer play Wimbledon every year? 109 00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:53,560 Why does Dirk Nowitzki play the NBA season every year? 110 00:04:53,593 --> 00:04:55,962 It's the same [indistinct], if you want to race 111 00:04:55,996 --> 00:04:59,332 Ultra Races, RAAM is the biggest race possible, 112 00:04:59,366 --> 00:05:00,934 so you want to do it every year. 113 00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:05,505 [announcer] Five, four, three, two, one. 114 00:05:05,539 --> 00:05:06,907 Good luck, Christoph! 115 00:05:06,940 --> 00:05:08,808 [crowd cheering] 116 00:05:08,842 --> 00:05:11,511 [Jenny] You said Oceanside to Durango, 117 00:05:11,545 --> 00:05:13,079 I totally just focus inward. 118 00:05:13,113 --> 00:05:16,082 I overheard you talking to Les or somebody today. 119 00:05:16,116 --> 00:05:18,351 Yeah, yeah, I'm racing my own race to St. Louis. 120 00:05:18,385 --> 00:05:20,821 I won't be specifically trying to race other people. 121 00:05:20,854 --> 00:05:22,722 That's foolish. 122 00:05:22,756 --> 00:05:25,425 I got to do my own thing. 123 00:05:25,458 --> 00:05:28,361 It's a really long race. 124 00:05:28,395 --> 00:05:30,630 You can't, like, start racing 125 00:05:30,664 --> 00:05:32,132 from the start line. 126 00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:33,667 It's just craziness. 127 00:05:34,568 --> 00:05:36,770 You'll burn yourself out. 128 00:05:36,803 --> 00:05:40,006 I want to do well in my category, 129 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,642 my-- in my age group. 130 00:05:42,676 --> 00:05:45,011 That could be a win. 131 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,649 [Jack] You want to, I think we should go now. 132 00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:51,051 Okay. 133 00:05:53,820 --> 00:05:55,922 [Vic] More than anything, Tarlton is an unknown. 134 00:05:55,956 --> 00:05:58,558 You know, he did RAAM a couple of years ago. 135 00:05:58,592 --> 00:05:59,993 He didn't set the world on fire. 136 00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:01,561 He got a respectful finish 137 00:06:01,595 --> 00:06:03,029 with 11 days in change. 138 00:06:03,063 --> 00:06:05,999 But in talking with John recently, 139 00:06:06,032 --> 00:06:07,834 it's evident that he learned quite a bit 140 00:06:07,868 --> 00:06:09,736 from that first experience, and he's coming here 141 00:06:09,769 --> 00:06:13,173 with one of the most scientific approaches I've seen 142 00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:15,408 and he could surprise people. 143 00:06:15,442 --> 00:06:17,677 [woman cheering] 144 00:06:19,446 --> 00:06:22,616 When we finished RAAM in 2014, 145 00:06:22,649 --> 00:06:24,784 there was a general sense that 146 00:06:24,818 --> 00:06:27,153 we could do it better and faster. 147 00:06:27,187 --> 00:06:30,924 And that maybe if we really worked hard 148 00:06:30,957 --> 00:06:33,927 and had a little bit of tailwind 149 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,931 that we might finish on the podium in Annapolis. 150 00:06:38,665 --> 00:06:40,500 [woman] Go John! 151 00:06:41,067 --> 00:06:44,838 [announcer] Next up, John Tarlton. 152 00:06:46,606 --> 00:06:49,743 John finished RAAM in 2014 as a rookie. 153 00:06:49,776 --> 00:06:52,178 We told him, you don't just do this race once 154 00:06:52,212 --> 00:06:53,947 he didn't believe it. 155 00:06:54,581 --> 00:06:56,583 Well, welcome back, John. 156 00:06:56,616 --> 00:06:58,051 John is raising money 157 00:06:58,084 --> 00:07:00,053 for the Stanford Cancer Institute. 158 00:07:00,086 --> 00:07:03,890 Four, three, two, one. 159 00:07:03,923 --> 00:07:05,125 Good luck, John! 160 00:07:05,158 --> 00:07:07,861 [crowd cheering] 161 00:07:15,235 --> 00:07:17,070 [Jenny] He just left the starting line. 162 00:07:18,672 --> 00:07:22,008 All the racers took off with their follow vehicles. 163 00:07:22,976 --> 00:07:25,745 John is going to go to mile-- 164 00:07:25,779 --> 00:07:27,213 What is it, guys, 28? 165 00:07:27,247 --> 00:07:28,949 He's going to have a crew switch. 166 00:07:29,916 --> 00:07:32,552 Getting to this point, it's just really nice. 167 00:07:32,585 --> 00:07:35,021 I mean, we keep saying like, it's crazy now, 168 00:07:35,055 --> 00:07:37,023 but it'll all come together. 169 00:07:37,057 --> 00:07:38,625 And everyone will fall in line 170 00:07:38,658 --> 00:07:40,627 and everybody will figure it out. 171 00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:42,762 So what he's going to do, he's going to chuck, 172 00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:44,197 he's literally just going to throw a water bottle 173 00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:46,066 and then I'll pass on this. 174 00:07:46,099 --> 00:07:47,801 [traffic noise] 175 00:07:52,238 --> 00:07:55,575 [John] So the strategy is to keep temperature 176 00:07:55,608 --> 00:07:57,644 under control through the desert. 177 00:07:57,677 --> 00:08:00,213 To try and get to Durango in three days. 178 00:08:01,114 --> 00:08:03,783 Try an average 300 miles a day... 179 00:08:04,784 --> 00:08:06,286 225 watts, 180 00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,788 keep it under 140 beats per minute, just... 181 00:08:09,923 --> 00:08:11,024 boring. 182 00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:15,261 That's the strategy, is boring. 183 00:08:15,295 --> 00:08:18,198 It's actually hot down here. 184 00:08:18,231 --> 00:08:19,866 We've got-- 185 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,235 We've got the breeze off the ocean right now. 186 00:08:22,268 --> 00:08:24,304 So it's just going to get hotter and hotter 187 00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:26,873 as we go further inland. 188 00:08:29,809 --> 00:08:32,812 We are at mile 42... 189 00:08:33,613 --> 00:08:34,848 out of... 190 00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:37,984 3071. 191 00:08:40,787 --> 00:08:43,256 Yeah, crushing it. 192 00:08:43,289 --> 00:08:44,791 [laughs] 193 00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:47,894 [Jenny] It's not surprising that he does this 194 00:08:47,927 --> 00:08:51,598 because it just fits so well with his personality. 195 00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:57,270 He's very calm, he's introverted, 196 00:08:57,303 --> 00:08:58,972 he's focused. 197 00:08:59,005 --> 00:09:01,074 You know, every aspect of his life is about 198 00:09:01,107 --> 00:09:04,811 conserving energy and pacing himself 199 00:09:04,844 --> 00:09:07,247 so then he can get a ton of stuff done. 200 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,616 And it's very much at his

00:24:50,055 --> 00:24:52,791 100-110 degrees, you got 131 degrees 554 00:24:52,825 --> 00:24:54,126 off the asphalt you're riding on. 555 00:24:54,159 --> 00:24:55,527 Break up on you. 556 00:24:56,161 --> 00:24:58,931 I'm on a motorcycle, so I feel the heat, 557 00:24:58,964 --> 00:25:01,834 I feel the wind, but I don't have to pedal. 558 00:25:01,867 --> 00:25:03,035 [laughs] 559 00:25:10,943 --> 00:25:13,045 He's burning a lot of calories, he is pretty much burning 560 00:25:13,078 --> 00:25:14,880 the whole way through. 561 00:25:14,913 --> 00:25:16,782 So what we're trying to do is replenish his body 562 00:25:16,815 --> 00:25:20,052 by the water, juice, carbohydrates, fats, protein, 563 00:25:20,085 --> 00:25:22,087 which is the most important ones. 564 00:25:22,121 --> 00:25:24,890 So he doesn't start eating up his muscles pretty much 565 00:25:24,923 --> 00:25:26,925 and counterbalance things. 566 00:25:26,959 --> 00:25:28,727 So we just got to keep feeding him 567 00:25:28,761 --> 00:25:31,730 so he doesn't cramp up and start losing muscle mass. 568 00:25:31,764 --> 00:25:35,300 During the racing, food intake is super important. 569 00:25:35,334 --> 00:25:37,336 We've formulated a recipe 570 00:25:37,369 --> 00:25:39,605 for John's granola that's exactly 571 00:25:39,638 --> 00:25:42,141 the right nutritional balance and fiber 572 00:25:42,174 --> 00:25:44,109 and protein and all of that for him. 573 00:25:44,143 --> 00:25:46,612 Granola and the cookies. 574 00:25:46,645 --> 00:25:49,615 And that's his rice cooker. 575 00:25:49,648 --> 00:25:52,785 Fresh produce, we got peanut butter. 576 00:25:52,818 --> 00:25:56,355 RAAM 2014 was Shot Bloks, Gu, 577 00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:59,191 Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, 578 00:25:59,224 --> 00:26:01,326 like anything to give him sugar. 579 00:26:02,027 --> 00:26:04,897 The racers in RAAM are going to be consuming 580 00:26:04,930 --> 00:26:06,999 vast quantities of sugar every day. 581 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,837 And that-- If you were to track their blood sugar level, 582 00:26:11,870 --> 00:26:15,274 it would be going up and down and up and down like this. 583 00:26:15,307 --> 00:26:16,842 And you don't want that. 584 00:26:16,875 --> 00:26:19,211 You want flatline glycemic index. 585 00:26:19,945 --> 00:26:23,215 And so it's less fatigue on my whole body. 586 00:26:23,248 --> 00:26:26,085 It's actually a huge process, you know, 587 00:26:26,118 --> 00:26:28,253 putting fresh dates in a fruit processor 588 00:26:28,287 --> 00:26:31,723 with coconut oil and honey and homemade vanilla. 589 00:26:31,757 --> 00:26:34,726 You know, seven cups of pumpkin seeds 590 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,261 and all of that. 591 00:26:36,295 --> 00:26:38,664 To make a huge batch that fills up this whole thing. 592 00:26:38,997 --> 00:26:40,365 Seven... 593 00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,136 What that granola does for me 594 00:26:44,169 --> 00:26:45,938 is allows me to-- 595 00:26:45,971 --> 00:26:48,173 Totally fucking lost count. 596 00:26:49,007 --> 00:26:51,043 [Vidya] These are the water that John drinks, 597 00:26:51,076 --> 00:26:53,112 we don't get any other water for John, 598 00:26:53,145 --> 00:26:54,246 this is all that he drinks. 599 00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:56,715 Extra spare tires. 600 00:26:56,748 --> 00:26:59,818 This one here is the freezer, put some ice in here 601 00:26:59,852 --> 00:27:03,388 all of his drinks, his electrolytes-- berries. 602 00:27:03,422 --> 00:27:07,025 Oh, my gosh, he loves Perfect Bars. 603 00:27:08,293 --> 00:27:09,761 [Jenny] Crew is doing good. 604 00:27:09,795 --> 00:27:11,130 Things are falling into place. 605 00:27:11,163 --> 00:27:13,732 John's doing well, he's strong. 606 00:27:13,765 --> 00:27:15,968 I know he's in great care. 607 00:27:16,001 --> 00:27:17,936 He's in great condition. 608 00:27:17,970 --> 00:27:21,140 He's totally passionate about this. 609 00:27:21,173 --> 00:27:24,142 So I'm not worried about it at all. 610 00:27:28,413 --> 00:27:30,115 It's really hard to eat in this heat. 611 00:27:30,149 --> 00:27:32,317 I know, just, can you eat a little bit? 612 00:27:32,351 --> 00:27:33,819 Just a little bit. 613 00:27:33,852 --> 00:27:35,754 Just take another-- half way on that. 614 00:27:36,722 --> 00:27:38,190 -That's enough. -Okay. 615 00:27:38,223 --> 00:27:40,726 Well, I'm just giving him options. 616 00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:44,029 Allen says, "We may need you, 617 00:27:44,062 --> 00:27:46,365 John is having a rough time in the heat." 618 00:27:46,398 --> 00:27:48,300 [Vidya] Just put these on. 619 00:27:48,333 --> 00:27:50,936 [gagging] 620 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,278 It was awful to see him throw up and, you know, 621 00:27:59,311 --> 00:28:01,346 you're trying to get all of this nutrition in him, 622 00:28:01,380 --> 00:28:03,949 you're trying to get all this fluid in him 623 00:28:03,982 --> 00:28:06,418 and here he is, he's throwing up... 624 00:28:06,451 --> 00:28:07,819 and it was hard to watch him. 625 00:28:07,853 --> 00:28:09,488 [gagging] 626 00:28:09,521 --> 00:28:11,190 I was just trying to hold him. 627 00:28:11,223 --> 00:28:13,792 You know, he's-- he's a big dude 628 00:28:13,825 --> 00:28:16,094 and trying to hold-- hold his back. 629 00:28:16,128 --> 00:28:17,963 And I was like, "what am I supposed to do?" 630 00:28:17,996 --> 00:28:19,898 And I am trying to hold my tears back. 631 00:28:19,932 --> 00:28:21,333 It was a tough one. 632 00:28:22,501 --> 00:28:24,102 [throwing up] 633 00:28:24,937 --> 00:28:26,872 [Jenny] "We need electrolytes in the RV. 634 00:28:26,905 --> 00:28:28,473 John's throwing up from the heat." 635 00:28:31,843 --> 00:28:33,078 [sighs] 636 00:28:33,111 --> 00:28:35,013 Okay, that's where we are. 637 00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:36,415 We've got to get through the heat. 638 00:28:37,216 --> 00:28:41,920 I didn't-- I had no idea that it was going to be 639 00:28:41,954 --> 00:28:44,790 so difficult so soon into the race. 640 00:28:44,823 --> 00:28:47,492 I sort of anticipated it getting 641 00:28:47,526 --> 00:28:51,230 incrementally more difficult as we went through. 642 00:28:51,263 --> 00:28:52,965 I didn't realize it was going to-- 643 00:28:52,998 --> 00:28:55,934 We were going to hit the wall so quickly. 644 00:28:56,368 --> 00:28:58,237 And you know, John can't drink enough 645 00:28:58,270 --> 00:28:59,504 or eat enough because he's so hot. 646 00:29:00,372 --> 00:29:02,975 you know, his body is rejecting it. 647 00:29:03,008 --> 00:29:06,311 You know, all the fluids inside of him to help 648 00:29:06,345 --> 00:29:08,046 cool him down are now gone. 649 00:29:09,047 --> 00:29:11,250 But he actually did well after puking, though. 650 00:29:11,283 --> 00:29:13,018 Gave him some electrolytes. 651 00:29:13,051 --> 00:29:15,354 Salt tab in every bottle of water. 652 00:29:15,387 --> 00:29:16,922 It was Allen's suggestion. 653 00:29:16,955 --> 00:29:19,024 It's got magnesium, calcium, 654 00:29:19,057 --> 00:29:21,493 all the electrolytes you need, it is called Salt Tabs, 655 00:29:21,526 --> 00:29:23,095 but it's only nine percent sodium. 656 00:29:23,128 --> 00:29:25,264 And slowly, he wanted more food, 657 00:29:25,297 --> 00:29:26,765 which was a good sign. 658 00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:30,335 It's too much to watch him ride in that hot weather. 659 00:29:30,369 --> 00:29:32,871 -[woman] Yeah. -It's just-- I can't. 660 00:29:32,904 --> 00:29:34,139 [woman] Yeah. 661 00:29:34,172 --> 00:29:36,141 I mean, I was like in tears, 662 00:29:36,174 --> 00:29:37,809 but I'm like, okay, don't cry, 663 00:29:37,843 --> 00:29:39,278 John can see you, so I was just like, 664 00:29:39,311 --> 00:29:41,213 kind of wearing my sunnies. 665 00:29:42,014 --> 00:29:43,315 I don't know what I was doing, but-- 666 00:29:43,348 --> 00:29:45,250 -You were crying. -Shut up! 667 00:29:56,461 --> 00:29:58,230 [Jack] What's he doing out here? 668 00:29:58,263 --> 00:29:59,564 Why is he walking? 669 00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:02,968 [Jenny] Honey, what's going on? 670 00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:05,370 You need some space? 671 00:30:07,005 --> 00:30:09,107 The logistics of the crew swaps... 672 00:30:09,975 --> 00:30:11,443 fell apart immediately. 673 00:30:12,311 --> 00:30:15,847 There's a miscommunication and so the team 674 00:30:15,881 --> 00:30:18,483 that just finished is ready to go off their shift. 675 00:30:18,517 --> 00:30:21,019 But the Relief Team is not here yet. 676 00:30:21,586 --> 00:30:24,122 At first, it was supposed to help people sleep. 677 00:30:24,623 --> 00:30:26,491 The problem is like, we don't know 678 00:30:26,525 --> 00:30:29,261 how fast or slow John is riding. 679 00:30:29,294 --> 00:30:31,163 So some days he's feeling really good... 680 00:30:31,930 --> 00:30:34,566 and that crew that's sleeping might be over sleeping 681 00:30:34,599 --> 00:30:37,202 and they might wake up and not be able 682 00:30:37,235 --> 00:30:38,437 to make their shift. 683 00:30:46,411 --> 00:30:48,246 [Jenny] Most important takeaway is, 684 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,450 no spouse should ever go with their spouse 685 00:30:51,483 --> 00:30:53,285 on a race like this. 686 00:30:53,318 --> 00:30:55,320 It was-- It was awful. 687 00:30:56,321 --> 00:30:58,457 Crew is doing great. 688 00:30:58,490 --> 00:31:00,192 [John] You guys got some rest? 689 00:31:00,225 --> 00:31:01,660 Everybody's good, everybody's rested, 690 00:31:01,693 --> 00:31:03,562 everybody's good. 691 00:31:03,595 --> 00:31:06,164 -Kevin actually slept? -Kevin slept, 692 00:31:06,198 --> 00:31:09,301 Kevin is rested and happy, he's totally good. 693 00:31:09,334 --> 00:31:12,104 So he's always asking, how's the crew? 694 00:31:12,137 --> 00:31:16,041 And so we're constantly put in a position of lying to him. 695 00:31:17,242 --> 00:31:19,411 John doesn't want to know while he's riding 696 00:31:19,444 --> 00:31:21,113 that the crew is melting down 697 00:31:21,146 --> 00:31:24,950 and the disasters that other crews are having. 698 00:31:24,983 --> 00:31:26,418 Or other riders that dropped out 699 00:31:26,451 --> 00:31:28,320 or other accidents, I mean, 700 00:31:28,353 --> 00:31:31,022 these are things that you deliberately keep from him. 701 00:31:31,056 --> 00:31:33,024 How

00:41:11,069 --> 00:41:12,603 Everything's going to run, you know, like-- 904 00:41:12,637 --> 00:41:14,172 like the military, like clockwork. 905 00:41:14,205 --> 00:41:16,007 And then there's a part of me that knows all these people 906 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:17,175 and is friends with all these people. 907 00:41:17,208 --> 00:41:18,710 And all these people are asking, 908 00:41:18,743 --> 00:41:20,278 "Oh, can I crew with this person next time? 909 00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:21,946 Can I crew with you next time? 910 00:41:21,979 --> 00:41:23,881 Oh, I want to do a shift with this person 911 00:41:23,915 --> 00:41:25,149 or this person, this person." 912 00:41:26,551 --> 00:41:27,919 And so then the whole thing blew up. 913 00:41:27,952 --> 00:41:30,521 -This is getting tribal, yeah. -Yeah. 914 00:41:30,555 --> 00:41:31,923 We have our names. 915 00:41:31,956 --> 00:41:33,624 Every crew thinks the other crew 916 00:41:33,658 --> 00:41:35,893 is completely messy and disorganized. 917 00:41:35,927 --> 00:41:37,595 -These guys suck. -Yeah. 918 00:41:37,628 --> 00:41:39,163 You know what, that's what Jonathan said. 919 00:41:39,197 --> 00:41:40,932 They come to ours after and they're like, 920 00:41:40,965 --> 00:41:42,200 "Oh, these guys fucked everything up." 921 00:41:42,233 --> 00:41:43,735 And then we come in and be like, 922 00:41:43,768 --> 00:41:45,570 "Oh, they fucked everything up." 923 00:41:45,603 --> 00:41:47,038 You're not feeding him right. 924 00:41:47,071 --> 00:41:48,539 No, you're not feeding him right. 925 00:41:52,610 --> 00:41:54,946 The whole first part of the race is really hard 926 00:41:54,979 --> 00:41:56,914 on John, because it's not just distance, 927 00:41:56,948 --> 00:41:58,282 it's elevation. 928 00:41:58,316 --> 00:42:00,718 So Dave was the Crew Chief in 2014. 929 00:42:01,352 --> 00:42:02,987 And he made all the calls. 930 00:42:03,020 --> 00:42:05,256 And you've got to make it to Durango, 931 00:42:05,289 --> 00:42:07,091 Friday at midnight. 932 00:42:07,125 --> 00:42:09,961 If you don't make it, it's DQ and it's all over. 933 00:42:09,994 --> 00:42:11,262 [Kevin] There are some things 934 00:42:11,295 --> 00:42:13,030 that Dave Johnson does really well. 935 00:42:13,064 --> 00:42:15,633 Like reading the rule book, like, cover to cover. 936 00:42:15,666 --> 00:42:17,602 Making sure everybody reads 937 00:42:17,635 --> 00:42:20,071 his highlighted version of the rule book. 938 00:42:20,104 --> 00:42:21,939 We got to have one of these in every car. 939 00:42:21,973 --> 00:42:23,808 This is what the road book will look like 940 00:42:23,841 --> 00:42:25,209 when you get your bound copy. 941 00:42:25,243 --> 00:42:26,944 You know, the things that nobody wants to do. 942 00:42:26,978 --> 00:42:28,312 Like nobody wants to read the route book, 943 00:42:28,346 --> 00:42:29,914 nobody wants to do that. 944 00:42:29,947 --> 00:42:32,617 And if we screw up, it costs John time. 945 00:42:32,650 --> 00:42:35,052 It just seems like David Johnson 946 00:42:35,086 --> 00:42:37,989 does a lot of administrative stuff that 947 00:42:38,022 --> 00:42:39,891 actually needs to get done. 948 00:42:39,924 --> 00:42:42,160 The other thing that we really got to talk about today 949 00:42:42,193 --> 00:42:43,928 is all the people we have 950 00:42:43,961 --> 00:42:47,198 and how this is all going to work with these cars 951 00:42:47,231 --> 00:42:49,000 and these people. 952 00:42:49,033 --> 00:42:50,301 [Jenny] That administrative stuff is not a strength 953 00:42:50,334 --> 00:42:53,070 or an interest of Kevin and Allen. 954 00:42:53,104 --> 00:42:54,772 I don't want to take anything away 955 00:42:54,806 --> 00:42:56,307 from the success of 2014 956 00:42:56,340 --> 00:42:58,609 and the people who were part of that success. 957 00:42:58,643 --> 00:43:01,379 But extreme administrative efficiency 958 00:43:01,412 --> 00:43:03,781 is not going to translate into a win. 959 00:43:03,815 --> 00:43:06,918 I asked Dave Johnson to step out 960 00:43:06,951 --> 00:43:09,187 of being a Co-- 961 00:43:09,220 --> 00:43:12,056 A Captain of the race and to stay behind 962 00:43:12,089 --> 00:43:14,225 and... lead 963 00:43:14,258 --> 00:43:17,094 the charge on raising funds. 964 00:43:17,128 --> 00:43:20,965 Jack was genuinely worried that things were falling apart. 965 00:43:20,998 --> 00:43:23,668 And he was genuinely worried that-- 966 00:43:24,902 --> 00:43:27,038 that Dad wasn't gonna make it. 967 00:43:27,071 --> 00:43:29,740 And he was like, I need you to jump in 968 00:43:29,774 --> 00:43:32,009 and use your leadership skills and just take over 969 00:43:32,043 --> 00:43:33,678 and just start barking orders. 970 00:43:33,711 --> 00:43:34,979 Yeah, that's what we started doing. 971 00:43:35,012 --> 00:43:36,214 Good. 972 00:43:36,247 --> 00:43:38,115 When anything was going wrong, 973 00:43:38,149 --> 00:43:40,251 it was my-- It was my instinct to sort of jump in and, 974 00:43:40,284 --> 00:43:42,787 you know, be a leader. 975 00:43:42,820 --> 00:43:44,255 I've been an executive 976 00:43:44,288 --> 00:43:46,958 in tech companies for about 20 years. 977 00:43:46,991 --> 00:43:49,193 Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems. 978 00:43:49,994 --> 00:43:53,164 I know everybody on the crew personally, 979 00:43:53,197 --> 00:43:55,166 but they're also, you know, 980 00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:57,168 self-employed folks 981 00:43:57,201 --> 00:43:59,937 who are not accustomed 982 00:43:59,971 --> 00:44:02,440 to running large organizations 983 00:44:02,473 --> 00:44:04,742 or operational efficiency 984 00:44:04,775 --> 00:44:07,278 or the contingency planning and things like that. 985 00:44:07,311 --> 00:44:10,882 And as a business person, I'm very accustomed to that. 986 00:44:10,915 --> 00:44:12,950 So you don't need me running point in the RV. 987 00:44:12,984 --> 00:44:14,819 You don't-- We don't need Dave Johnson. 988 00:44:14,852 --> 00:44:16,187 We're all good. 989 00:44:16,220 --> 00:44:17,321 Dave Johnson? 990 00:44:17,355 --> 00:44:19,290 Oh, okay. 991 00:44:19,323 --> 00:44:21,225 Would have been useful to have David Johnson 992 00:44:21,259 --> 00:44:22,326 during the-- 993 00:44:23,928 --> 00:44:26,831 the whole race, because he is trained by 994 00:44:26,864 --> 00:44:28,432 the United States Military. 995 00:44:28,466 --> 00:44:30,268 What-- what better organization to train someone 996 00:44:30,301 --> 00:44:33,237 on the logistics of a stressful, 997 00:44:34,505 --> 00:44:36,908 organized campaign? 998 00:44:36,941 --> 00:44:39,810 When do you want to take a shift change? 999 00:44:39,844 --> 00:44:41,779 I'll look at the book and I'll text you guys. 1000 00:44:42,980 --> 00:44:45,917 Extreme administrative efficiency translates into, 1001 00:44:45,950 --> 00:44:48,019 "Oh, we checked all the boxes." 1002 00:44:48,052 --> 00:44:51,355 That's good, but to win, 1003 00:44:51,389 --> 00:44:53,190 we need a different set of skills. 1004 00:44:53,224 --> 00:44:57,228 To win, we need focus on nutrition strategy. 1005 00:44:57,261 --> 00:44:58,996 How do we execute that nutrition? 1006 00:44:59,030 --> 00:45:02,199 Not just nutrition strategy, so that we finish. 1007 00:45:02,233 --> 00:45:04,869 But nutrition strategy so that we go fast. 1008 00:45:04,902 --> 00:45:06,370 [Jenny] Did we have some miscalculations? 1009 00:45:06,404 --> 00:45:08,072 My phone's not loading. 1010 00:45:08,105 --> 00:45:10,141 The last text I saw was, "We're not"-- From Kevin, 1011 00:45:10,174 --> 00:45:11,309 "We're not going to make it." 1012 00:45:13,511 --> 00:45:16,113 [Kevin] Hello, yeah, so I hate to say it, 1013 00:45:16,147 --> 00:45:17,982 but we're being too nice to you. 1014 00:45:18,015 --> 00:45:20,318 We're giving you too much rest stops and we're like, 1015 00:45:20,351 --> 00:45:22,486 when we are stopping, we're not being tight enough 1016 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,723 on, like, hard stop at x minutes. 1017 00:45:27,325 --> 00:45:28,993 [Kevin] This morning, when we made the shift 1018 00:45:29,026 --> 00:45:31,062 at 6 a.m., he was a little tired, 1019 00:45:31,095 --> 00:45:32,430 -you could tell. -Yeah. 1020 00:45:32,463 --> 00:45:34,899 So then we just fed him a lot of food. 1021 00:45:34,932 --> 00:45:36,167 [Jenny] What did you feed him? 1022 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,536 A lot of saltines and avocado. 1023 00:45:38,569 --> 00:45:40,304 -[Jenny] Not a lot of calories. -[Allen] Yeah. 1024 00:45:40,338 --> 00:45:42,306 [Vidya] He was like, I don't want potatoes. 1025 00:45:42,340 --> 00:45:44,375 -I don't want quiches. -[Allen] Threw the quiche out. 1026 00:45:44,408 --> 00:45:46,110 [Vidya] He threw the quiche out, 1027 00:45:46,143 --> 00:45:48,012 he was like, he can't digest food, either. 1028 00:45:48,045 --> 00:45:49,814 [Allen] He takes a bite and he just tossed it. 1029 00:45:49,847 --> 00:45:51,148 [Vidya] Yeah. 1030 00:45:51,182 --> 00:45:52,483 [Jenny] So he is not eating food. 1031 00:45:52,516 --> 00:45:53,951 [Vidya] The best thing for him right now 1032 00:45:53,985 --> 00:45:55,419 are the crackers and the avocados. 1033 00:45:55,453 --> 00:45:57,555 -[Allen] Yeah. -They're working the best. 1034 00:45:57,588 --> 00:45:59,323 -So we are feeling like-- -That's not enough calories. 1035 00:45:59,357 --> 00:46:00,992 [Allen] So, every ten minutes-- 1036 00:46:01,025 --> 00:46:02,393 [Vidya] Yeah, every ten minutes we kept giving him, 1037 00:46:02,426 --> 00:46:03,928 avocados are pretty good. 1038
