Peter & Sarah

Peter & Sarah Friends Peter: Clinical Prosthetist, 35 Laguna Beach, CA Sarah: Motivational Speaker, 31 Trabuco Canyon, CA The Hook: Sarah has a prosthetic leg, and Peter is a clinical prosthetist. Both are Iron Man competitors, and figured that the next big race to compete in was this one! They are hoping that Sarah will become the first person with a physcial disability to win The Amazing Race. Teamwork: aaaa These two are friends, and know each other from competing together, and from previously working together. However, have they every spent 24/7 together in stressful conditions like this? Peter is a good support for Sarah and whatever special needs she will have. They seem to respect each other, and should work well together. Strength: aaaa They get lots of points. Even with Sarah's disability, they are in fantastic shape, and stronger than most. Heck, I have two legs and would never consider competing in a triathalon, let alone the Iron Man. Seriously... right now I'm sitting on my couch, writing a website about watching TV. Could I possibly be less active? The only reason I can't give them full points is I don't know what challenges lie in store for them, and Sarah's disabilty may actually be a disablity in some situations. She can run and bike and swim... but can she climb over uneven terrain, ski, skate, rappel, and any of the other crazy things they may think up this season? I don't know. I'm thinking there's not much you can throw at this woman that she can't handle, but compared with some of the other strong teams, they may have some unique struggles. Experience: aaaa Okay, again not a lot of international travel... but since there isn't a lot of that going around, they aren't at a disadvantage to a lot of folks. And they brought up a good point in their interview. They've had to travel a lot together for Iron Man competitions, and are used to lugging stuff around and dealing with the extra security and boarding issues that Sarah requires. That general travel airport experience should help them. Plus he speaks German, and she is fluent in Spanish. Nice! These two are a strong team. They're driven, they're competitive, and they don't shy away from challenges. I think they'll be one of the final teams to beat.
