Dave Eldridge, Crew Chief
Home: Birmingham, AL
I am married, the father of two, the grandfather of five, and semi retired after spending 25 years primarily in residential mortgage banking. I am not a cyclist. However, my youngest son is a Type 1 diabetic and was a professional cyclist for six years. He is co-founder of Team Type 1, a cycling team comprised of riders who have Type 1 Diabetes. Team Type 1 was a dominant eight-person amateur team in RAAM from 2006 to 2010 prior to them launching a professional team that raced internationally. I served as a crew member for the 2006 and 2007 teams and as Crew Chief thereafter. Team Type 1 is the only team to be inducted into the RAAM Hall of Fame (2010). All other inductees have been solo racers.
I am honored to have been part of such successful RAAM teams and excited to be part of this extraordinary team of women. I can’t wait to support them in breaking barriers and records.
Dave is the most winning Crew Chief in RAAM history.

Marti Shea, Team Coach
Home: Marblehead, MA
Marti Shea attended Boston University on a full Cross Country /Track scholarship and received her BS from Boston University in 1985 and an MS in Education in 1986. Upon graduation she founded Select Fitness Inc., a personal training studio in Marblehead MA and has been training clients of all ages and fitness levels over the past 25 years.
Marti grew up playing numerous sports but in her junior year of high school began concentrating on running which led to many years of successful performances and accolades. In 1992, at the age of 29, Marti decided to retire from professional running to concentrate on her personal training career. A year later on a whim she qualified and then won the World Amateur Duathlon Championships in Ferrara Italy.
It would be 14 years later, at the age of 44, before she would compete in any competitive sports. Although she kept very active and fit during these years, it was the limitations of an osteoarthritic knee that convinced her to reinvent herself as an athlete. Marti traded in her running shoes for a bike and began taking part and winning hill climbs. Known foremost for her domination as a climber on the bike, Marti also excels at time trial events and stage racing.
