In the interest of decreasing redundant netnews traffic,
this is an advance announcement that Mt Xinu will be posting
daily reports on the progress and results of the Race Across
America (RAAM), which begins in Huntington Beach, Calif., on
Sunday, July 21 and ends in Atlantic City 10-12 days later.

Mt Xinu is sponsoring Elaine Mariolle, one of three women
expected to start in a field of 25-30.  We'll hear from her
support crew twice a day with news from one point on the route
and will have at least daily reports from RAAM officialdom.

This year's route is southerly -- Albuquerque, Amarillo,
Oklahoma City, Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville, Blue Ridge,
Roanoke -- and a bit longer at 3088 miles than last year.
Both men's and women's divisions are expected to be 
competitive, with no clear single favorites.  Stay tuned...
