Why am I doing Primal Quest?
For me, what truly takes adventure racing to a level beyond any other sport is the non-stop metal focus and strategy involved: planning for every possible situation, solving problems as a team, and preparing yourself to endure the extreme physical challenges.  I enjoy a sport that requires much more than just physical training to become competitive.  Every adventure race I compete in is a truly unique and rewarding experience.  Primal Quest is the toughest and most spectacular expedition adventure race in the world.  When I cross the finish line with my teammates, I believe I will have overcome so many obstacles and have completed a true expedition that will be one of the greatest experiences of my life.
