Race Across America 206 with David Haase

•Download as PPTX, PDF•
•

The Race Across America (RAAM) is a 3,000+ mile bicycle race from California to Maryland that is considered the single toughest race in the world. Riders face extreme heat, high winds, and sand in the desert portions. Many riders do not finish due to the harsh conditions. Dave Haase, a 4-time top American finisher, has created the "Internet of Dave" by connecting sensors on his bike and body to the IBM Watson IoT Platform and analytics apps. This allows him to monitor heart rate, temperature, speed, and other metrics in real-time. The data is analyzed to provide forecasts and optimize racing versus resting decisions to help Dave race in a perfect manner and improve his chances

The RAAM is considered to be the single toughest race in the world. It eclipses the mileage ridden in the Grand Tours of Cycling, including the Tour de France, all on a compressed time frame. What is the Race Across America?

“ Racers dread the first day of RAAM more than any other. The Sonoran Desert, like its cousin the Mojave to the north, is one of Mother Nature’s cruelest and most feared environments. This first part of the course is a death zone. The scorching heat, desiccating air, and windswept sand produce a discouraging number of DNFs [Did Not Finish], even among race favorites.”1 1 Snyder, Amy (2011-06-01). Hell on Two Wheels (p. 38). Triumph Books. Kindle Edition. What are the challenges?

5

How will IoT and Analytics help? Training = stress that creates adaptation. Recover and repeat.

Applying analytics, IoT, weather, and cloud to race the perfect race Know self. Anticipate conditions. Optimize decisions.
