Introduction:

"I've only done the Flying Frog solo but enjoyed it. I'm always looking for another race. I'm open to anything...........o nce."

What's your strongest AR discipline - biking, paddling, trekking, ropes, navigation? Your weakest?

"My stongest would be paddling, then running, biking and my navigation is aweful. Just point."

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

"Yes, the flying frog. I mostly race triathlons but I enjoy something different, but I can still train the same for."

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

"I can use a compass and map, but I wouldn't let anyone follow me."

Have you ever mountain biked on a trail at night?

"Yes. Crabtree lake last winter was a lot of fun."

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?

"Twice. In 2006 Flying frog I wanted to quit in the middle of the mountain bike portion. I was scared to death but I had to keep due to the other team members. The I did the frog Solo so I wouldn't let anyone down but myself. I did well and had a great time. Practicing on the mountain bike for a year helped."
