RAAM is off and Cycling!
Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 09:29PM Day two of riders kicking off. On Saturday the relay teams begin their journey!
Amidst all the excitement of start day we've had a bunch of rider Captains forget to turn on their MyAthlete Shadows. RAAM is spreading the word but if you know any of rider support crews nudge them to follow the simple instructions in the rider chase car; plug in the car charger provided, plug that into the Shadow, and if its the first time used press and hold the TOP button for about 3 seconds until you see the lights come on. Then place it on the dashboard with the MyAthlete (the antenna side) label facing up. Then they are golden for the next 3,000 miles. Ride baby, ride!

The tracker worked for about 4 hours at the beginning of the RAAM Race on the 18th and then all the units quit working at the same time - no, they have the units turned on. C'mon guys. We can't track anybody in the entire race. Reboot your server.
Ann - What is your team? As you can see teams and soloists are working so its not the server. We have seen a few stop at the same location where the cell coverage drops and can only guess that the firmware on the devices encountered an issue in that area. We have sent messages out to the crews to reset their GPS Shadows. Once they are in cell range they have come back online. If you are able to reach the crew then e-mail us at sales@MyAthleteGPS.com with a cell phone we can call someone at or I can give you the simple power off/on instructions.
