‘Why do you want to participate in Death race 2012?’ is a question I’ve been asked about 1000 times these last few months, and the answer is simple. I want to push myself to my limit, and when I get there, I want to push myself a little further.

I have always been someone who enjoys a good challenge and am always up for an adventure no matter what the situation. I spent a year traveling around South America doing some amazing and grueling hikes through the Andes and surrounding countryside and it was this trip when I began to really learn what it meant to challenge myself.

This race is something I want to do to see how far I can push myself. To see how far I can go before wanting to quit, and how much further I can go beyond that breaking point. I’m not going to be the fastest, that is not my goal, but success is eminent in that failure is not an option. I will finish the race, if it’s the last thing I do.
