Race Across America 2008 DVD – 14 States of Pain
On December 15th 2007, Sports Psychologist and personal trainer Alan Heary asked the question……What would happen if he took a group of leisure cyclists and fitness enthusiasts and gave them access to the best coaches trainers, and facilities normally only available to Irelands elite and challenged them to complete the toughest cycle race in the World – The Race Across America (RAAM).
After auditions and fitness tests were conducted with over forty applicants only thirteen were chosen to take part in the project. The following five months consisted of gruelling training in sometimes freezing and stormy conditions over punishing terrain cycling at night as well as day. This was to push them to physical, mental and emotional breakdown.
Only four were finally selected for Ireland’s Navan Avonmore team. This gripping documentary follows the team through their blood, sweat and tears as they attempt to go from complete novice to elite riders with only 6 months training.
