Team eCountryLifestyle has been fortunate enough to find two of the best possible people to support the racers while at Primal Quest 2008.
Brad Hagen is a veteran Primal Quest competitor from the lake state of Michigan. Brad has extensive knowledge of adventure racing, both from sprint and epic multiday races, to assist the team in smooth transitions an logistical issues. Brad also brings with him a vast knowledge base of training and physical issues gleaned from years of work as a personal trainer at Sport Lab Brighton in Brighton MI. Interestingly enough, Brad has helped to train up and condition the team both hands on and through advice.
Also Joining the support side of Team eCountryLifestyle is Mike Flack. Mike is an avid outdoorsman. He has traveled a significant portion of the state of Montanna. as a Resident of Grand Junction CO, he spends a great deal of time in the mountains on bike, hike, snowshoeing, skiing and other outdoor adventures. Mike works as an RN in critical care units at his local hospital in GJ. With all hope, he will not have to lay a hand on us other than to push us out of the TA faster. However, should we need parts mended..this is definitely the guy we want on the job. Between the vast knowledge of mountain travel as a former guide and his well honed medical skills, Mike should be a significant advantage for our team.
Thanks Again! to both of these two excellent guys who are a big part of our team!

I just realized there is an incredible down side for me in in this whole PQ Madness… I will never get to complain about my sore, aching body ever again… John’ll do the austin powers ‘zzzzzzzzzip’ anytime I open my mouth… and it’ll be like, yeah, yeah, I know your body hurts from that 1/2 marathon but I once did the greatest human physical challenge on earth and spent 10 days beating my body to obilivion…………………….. and I’ll just have to suck it up. Thanks a lot Frank. I’ll never get to whine again
HANG TOUGH TEAM #65. We are all rooting for ya!

John- Nancy sent the most awesome video to me today- picture this— your entire family yelling (and not in very good unison I might add) ‘GO TEAM 65, GO UNCLE JOHN!!!!!!!’ AND then cheering like crazy!
You have no idea the support and following you have… I hope you can feel it wherever you are. We’re all sending our love and support… Cally, Scott, and Frank- all praying for you guys. Hope you’re holding up well.
