Brett Bender because he is pretty squirrely.
Describe your off-season training regimen:
I lift weights and run every day of the week. Now that we got the new sleds out I’ll start riding on chips.
What pre-race ritual do you do or item(s) must you wear or have with you when you race (for good luck)?
I have to have my Pillsbury toaster strudels for breakfast.
Who has influenced your race career the most to date?
Definitely my dad. He is always pushing me to go faster and if it weren’t for him I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today.
