Waiting

Know the wait begins.We finished the team essay and the competitiors profiles.Lisa and Paulette took them over to Ricks Friday night.
The deadline is next Friday for any other teams.
We heard so Doctors are trying to get a team together,but they are going to have a hard time finding a woman for the their team.As far as we can tell Paulette and Lisa are the only 2 women in the state with thr desire,skills,mental toughness and time to do Primal Quest.

I will be adding the Profiles and Essay this week.
First up is the support team.

“We Have the Spatula”


The Primal Quest is more than the 4 competitors. They need a Team behind them. We have been working for several months to put together a group that will make sure that Dan, Paulette, Gary, and Lisa will be the first “Home Team” to finish.

Many of these athletes have the skills to do Primal Quest, but instead have decided to help the Team. As some of them put it “Thank God I don’t have to do it.”
