Thoughts about, and goals for racing ExpAk: The ultimate goal for me is to cross the finish line with all limbs still attached! I want to complete as much of the race I can not only for bragging rights but to be able to see as much of Alaska as I can! I am really excited and honestly slightly nervous about the race because this is by far the biggest and most bad ass race I have ever participated in. I am so pumped to have the adventure of a lifetime and maybe see some cool wildlife along the way! This race will undoubtedly be something I never forget!
