Is there anything that has surprised you about your teammates?

• John:  ”Yes.  We have evidence that Jason may have actually been raised by wolves.”
• Bobby:  ”Not yet. I’ll let you know after the race.”
• Jason:  ”Bobby swears like a sailor yet, directs a church choir. What’s up with that???”
• Mary:  ”Yes, John is so fricken’ organized, Bobby is a Church Choir Director, and Jason, well, Jason is what you see is what you get!!!”

What is your most embarrassing moment in adventure racing?

• John:  ”Having a doody call while on a narrow ridge as other racers passed by.  There was nowhere to hide. Talk about stage fright.”
• Bobby:  ”Having explosive diarrhea in stairwell of a landmark sky scrapper, city will not be named due to legal reasons. However I do not get stage freight like John.”
• Mary:  ”During the MIX (3-4day race) I had a blister on my little toe, but I thought a creature had eaten a hole in my toe!”
• Jason:  ”Being in the lead of a race and then “mysteriously” running out of map. oops……”

What one luxury item do you wish you could have out on the race course?

• Mary:  ”Shaver!”
• Bobby:  ”The map with the most direct and easiest route to all CPS. or a Sherpa?”
• John:  ”A can of air freshener for Stinky Bobby.  He can fumigate an entire forest with his stank.”
• Jason:  ”Espresso maker”

What scares you the most about Primal Quest?

• Jason:  ”Pretty much everything and nothing as well. hhhmmm……”
• Bobby:  ”Bears!!! Although, if I can manage to put the rest of the team between me and the bear or moose, I think I will be alright.”
• Mary:  ”Not sure which is worse, being attacked by bears (thank goodness for bear spray) or drowning in the whitewater riverboarding section!!!!”
• John:   ”Mary, without a shaver for 10 days.  Jason, without his espresso for 10 days.  And, Bobby without a shower for 10 days.  Let’s just say, I don’t think we have to worry about the bears.

What do you miss most during 10 days out in the wilderness?

• Bobby:  ”Family.”
• Jason:  ”Ask me after the race. More than likely my wifey and doggy.”
• John:   ”I was going to say my morning cup of coffee with cream and 2 Splendas, but I guess I should say family as well.  And, they say I am the sappy one.”
• Mary:  ”Elisabeth.”
