Eric Maul and Lucas Dorner - Part I of our Support Crew
Eric, steelworker, bald, tattoo, cigar smoking, support crew member. Eric could be considered a professional support crew member. He has supported teams that Mary has been on many times.   To many times for him to count. Eric has been extremely supportive of Mary and her teammates’ adventures. When she finally told him about getting a spot in Primal Quest, he looked up at her, with his glasses at the tip of his nose, and said , “I am not going.” Mary said, “I did not ask you. That is OK if you don’t want to go.” The very next morning on his way to work, he called Mary and told her that he could not let her go to PQ alone. He was not going to leave her high and dry out there. He would be one of the teams support members. He has to take 2 weeks vacation to do this. He has loved the places that adventure racing has taken them. The people, the AR community, the excitement of it all. Mary and Eric both have said that they don’t know if they
would have been to some of these places if it wasn’t for AR. He has never been to Montana. Eric’s assistant is their nephew Lucas. Like Eric, Lucas has been to several of Auntie Mary’s races. They love bringing him with. He has such a great time. Lucas will have these memories forever. Hopefully, Lucas will be a future adventure racer. Lucas holds a special place in Mary’s heart. Mary talks about him constantly. Anyone who has raced with Mary has met Eric and Lucas. Mary had said the best thing that ever happened to her during an adventure race is after a 30 mile trek in the Beast of the East, she came into TA and there were Eric, Lucas, (Tiffany, Eric’s daughter). It was the best feeling ever to have your family there!!!!!!! Eric and Lucas are big Chicago White Sox fans!!! Pictures of Eric and Luke will be coming soon!
