We did it! @thespeedproject: 340 mile race from LA -> Vegas. 50hrs and 18 min. Unlike a marathon or short distances, this was not about pace.

I was brought onboard to put together a data collection protocol to measure what was happening to the ladies physiology throughout the race. It was an honour to support everyone by driving the beast of an RV, to do what I love in the applied physiology space and also bring my experience of extreme sports into play. Thank you to those who helped it all come to life from the data side: Pace and heart rate: @corosglobal Lactate analysis: @cranlea Force plates: @hawkindynamics (extra special thank you for going above and beyond by sending out @greenhouse_ps to pre and post testing).
