Introduction

Hello! Let's see. I am fairly new to AR. I have participated in 3 so far but looking forward to more

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?

Yes, midway through my first race I mentally wanted to beat up my husband for getting me into AR and physically wanted to throw up but I pulled through. One of the most emotional moment in my life (next to getting married and giving birth)

Have you ever mountain biked on a trail at night?

No, I would definitely be lost if I wasn't with someone who could navigate at night.

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

Yes, but I still need help every time I start out

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

Yes, Golden Nugget '06 & '07 & '08. The interesting part for me is the mental challenge that I have to overcome every time.

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

Water events are my strongest...biking my weakest...and I am pretty good at the orienteering but by the end of a race I am so tired I just want to sit on a rock and pass out! :-)
