Introduction
I started running in June 1980. I ran my first 10-k in September 1981. I've run races from 5-k's to marathons. I love biathlons and triathlons individually and as a team. I'm new to adventure racing and look forward to having others to train with.
What's your strongest AR discipline - biking, paddling, trekking, ropes, navigation? Your weakest?

Biking and running are my strongest. Weakest is navigation. I get lost getting out of my driveway.

Have you participated in an adventure race before? What is interesting to you about AR?

No but I've always wanted to since watching Eco-Challenge. I love the challenge and getting dirty.

Have you learned how to use a compass and map to navigate?

My son-in-law who is an Army Ranger has been helping me learn how to use a compass, etc.

Have you ever mountain biked on a trail at night?

No not yet

Have you ever reached a point in an adventure (race or not) where getting dirtier/wetter didn't matter any more? Did that feel like despair or freedom?

One of my fondest memories is from the Mud, Sweat & Gears Biathlon in 1994 at Camp LeJeune. I was in swamp mud up to my waist. It was awesome and I loved it. I felt total freedom.
