Yes, it's definitely possible.  I did my first 25 and 3 loops of a 50 <g>
without crew.  Endurance folks are very friendly and helpful, especially
to newcomers (just announce yourself like I did :)) and will be glad to
pitch in and help you get going.  

If you follow the same path I did, you will become addicted after your
first ride, and your primary goal in life will then become converting a
friend so you will have a training partner ... and then sucker them into
crewing for you!  Worked for me. <BG>
