Best advice or tip our team can pass along to others:
|
Make sure you and your teammates have the same goals and you can work together. We have never had any major conflict on any races--we are out mainly for the fun. |
Best adventure race memories:
|
It would have to be that darn swamp from Extreme Heart Challenge 2003! We tried to bribe two guys ($20) in a boat to take us across--little did we know they were race photographers. I swear we still have some pants that cannot shake that rotten smell. |
Worst adventure race memory:
|
This would have to be Extreme Heart Challenge 2005. One of us was bonking at about midnight on a dark, deserted, road in the middle of Thurston County. We thought for sure we'd have to finish unranked. After about 45 minutes of rest, we were able to ease our teammate along and finish. There's nothing worse than that feeling of helplessness when you know a teammate is down. (The one cool part of this time was the Winnebago Pow Wow drums we could hear somewhere off in the distance.) |
Team motto or quote:
|
Finish as a team--no matter what |
