What I dread about race day: the “will I go #2 before it’s too late?” issue that seems to happen at every race.
What I always wanted to be when I grew up: an Athlete. Always.
If I was a cartoon character I would be: Droopy. From Wikipedia - “hardly an imposing character, was shrewd enough to outwit his enemies and, when finally roused to anger, capable of beating adversaries twice his size with a comical thrashing.”
If I could have lunch with anyone it would be: Greg Bennett. I would ask a million questions and bring a tape recorder.
My hero is: My Dad. He’s a cool guy.
Favorite food: Elk Burger, sweet potato fries, and a Green Lakes Organic Ale from Deschutes Brewery
Favorite Movie: currently) The Fighter
