Blind Everest Climber in Subaru Primal Quest
14:46 p.m. EDT Sep 5, 2003
The Subaru Primal Quest adventure race kicked off today. We don't cover adventure races typically. But the ten day multi challenge competition is interesting in several aspects: One of the competitors is the blind Everest summiteer Erik Weihenmayer. Erik's Everest expedition became one of the Classic expedition on this site.
The Subaru race involves kayaking, tandem pedaling and such and should be pretty interesting for a sight impaired person and his team mates.
Another contestant, Tony McEachern, was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor back in April this year. This has not stopped him from attending the race.
Find Tony in team Bikesenjava and Eric in team No Boundaries. Wouldn't it be pretty cool if they won.
