Dirka se je prevesila v zadnjo tretjino in prav je, da se vam oglasi tudi zdravniška ekipa, ki Jureta spremlja že od prihoda v Ameriko.
Kot njegov zdravnik na zadnjih treh ultrakolesarskih podvigih (Le Tour Ultime 2006, RAAM 2007 in RAAM 2008) sem imel do danes možnost precej celostno spoznati njegove psihofizične sposobnosti, ki so ga v vsem tem obdobju naredile za kralja ultrakolesarskih preizkušenj.
Krasita ga jeklena volja in 'robotsko' telo, ki mu omogočata dosego zastavljenih ciljev. Lastni viziji v ekstremnem kolesarstvu sledi do popolnosti vsak dan svojega življenja. Količina treningov, ki jih opravi pred RAAM-om, je za navadnega smrtnika nepredstavljivih razsežnosti. Dejstvo, da zadnjih nekaj mesecev pred prihodom na RAAM 2008 ni imel večjih zdravstvenih težav, pa je le potrjevalo dejstvo, da je Jure odlično pripravljen.
Z Juretom sva se pred samo dirko natančno dogovorila, kako bova sodelovala. Izkušnje iz prejšnjih let so pokazale, da je zelo koristno natančno spremljanje vnosa tekočine in hranil med samim tekmovanje. Omenjeno je treba ves čas prilagajati glede na Juretuvo počutje, vremnske razmere in težavnost proge. Kako pomembno je ohranjanje ravnotežja v organizmu je letos dokazal Juretov glavni konkurent na dirki, Gulewitz, ki je že drugi dan podlegel dehidraciji in s tem izgubil dragocenih 5 ur (čas, ki je bil potreben, za ponovno vzpostavitev hidracije). V primeru izenačene konkurence lahko taka napaka pomeni razliko med zmago ali porazom, v hujši obliki pa celo odstop tekmovalca, ki se je celo leto pripravljal na ta dogodek.
Seveda pa je pasti, ki lahko vplivajo na konkorenčnost tudi tako dobro pripravljenega tekmovalca kot je Jure še velko. Taka dirka je konstantna tekma s časom, ki ga bo kolesar pustil na progi, kar pa ni odvisno le hitrosti kolesarjenja, ampak tudi od časa, ki ga bo porabil za fiziološke potrebe, kot so dolžina počitka, način hranjenja, pogostost odvajanja urina in blata (naj vas le spomnim na lanski RAAM, ko je Fasching uspel Jureta prehiteti zaradi prebavnih motenj, ki so se pojavile drugi dan dirke) in še bi jih lahko naštel.
Glede ostalih pasti in o težavah, ki jih je imel Jure na letošnjem RAAMu pa v nadeljevanju.
Postopki med nočnim počitkom so natančno opredeljeni in o njih več v naslednjem prispevku (na posnetku je prikazana masaže nog in stopal pred zdravniško oskrbo, ki jo je Jure deležen, preden zaspi).

ENG:
The race is in its last third phase, so here is the report of the medical team that has been taking care of Jure since his arrival to the USA.
As his medical doctor at the last three ultramarathons (Le Tour Ultime 2006, RAAM 2007 and RAAM 2008), I've had the unique opportunity of thoroughly examining the psychophysical capabilities that has made Jure the king of cycling ultramarathons.
He is marked by a hard will and a "robotic" body, which propel him to his goals. He is following his vision of extreme cycling to perfection every day of his life. The amount of training he completes before RAAM is unimaginable to any common person. The fact that he didn't have any medical problems a few months before RAAM 2008 is an affirmation of his excellent preparation.
Jure and I discussed our roles in the race well before it started. Our experiences from the previous years showed that it is useful to keep track of all intake of beverages and food during the competiton. The quantities must be adjusted to Jure's health condition, weather parameters and route configuration. The importance of keeping balance in the organism proved to be one downfall of Jure's major contender this year, Gerhard Gulewitz, who dehydrated by the second day of the race and in turn lost 5 precious hours (the time required to re-establish balance). In the case of a tight race, such a mistake can determine the winner among the competitors that trained hard for a year or so.
Of course there are many other traps that can make minutes or hours of difference for a top, fit competitor like Jure. RAAM is a constant time race, which doesn't depend only on his speed on the road, but also on how much time he spends on basic needs, such as length of his rest, frequency of using the toilet (let me remind you of last year's RAAM, when Fasching passed Jure, because Jure had digestion problems from day 2), and I could go on.
I'll indulge some other traps and problems of this year's RAAM next time.
The procedures during Jure's night rest are precisely described, and more about it in my next report (the clip is showing a foot massage before medical treatment that Jure gets before he falls asleep).
