Best adventure race memories:

Raid the Ridge long zip line, freak snow at the 2004 MAD DASH race, first race ever at the high adrenaline at the Wild Scallion Urban Adventure race in Chicago, finishing any race in the Top 3!, beating SOAR race team (ha!) |
Worst adventure race memory:

The excitement turned agony of getting a free bean burrito at Taco Johns just hours before a race that opened up with a 5-mile trail run...(you get the picture from there!) |

"Let go of my ears, I know what I'm doing!" (OK, that was a joke...we don't have a motto, but this one might work...hmmm...?) |
