WHAT ARE WE OPTIMIZING FOR?

WHAT ARE WE OPTIMIZING FOR?

ONE OF THE BEST THINGS about racing an epic event or route is figuring out what needs to be optimized. As we prep, for going the distance... 

... we are forced to figure out what to optimize.

We want a specific outcome.

What might we consider...

  • risk
  • speed
  • weight
  • teammates
  • replaceability 
  • proven methods

... necessary for our success?

All good.

Each consideration must answer the question...

... will this make us more or less durable?

I was reminded of this when a critical suspension bolt snapped mid-ride last week. It was an easy fix, only because I had the replacement parts on hand in my garage.
