We’re finally ready to pack our bags! Kiddy care has been arranged, and Team Gadling, Kent and Linda are ready!
Kent’s a pilot and a writer for Gadling.com, a travel website and Linda is a former flight attendant. Kent has posted the first update for Gadling, and hopes to include interviews with all the other competitors in future posts.
We love the element of surprise, so we’re not interested in finding out any of the destinations, other than the Frankfurt starting point. So keep an eye out for us. We’ll be the ones with the yellow messenger bags! Er, wait. Never mind.
Can’t wait to meet everyone!

I am shocked at how different Kynt and Vyxsin look than when they last raced. At least they have the opening credit “pose” down- even though pink and black is no longer the team colour scheme!
Now if we could just get Phil Keoghan to pronounce “Spa” without coughing up phlegm…
Looks like you guys have packing down to a science… one small backpack each! (or are the steamer trunks just out of frame?)
Hey Kent and Linda:
See you in a couple hours. Look forward to meeting to you.
Sincerely
The Swizzles
Thx for sharing this info. Greetz from me (indonesia)!
Hey there, Kent,
I am going to do the Competitours race this summer–I cannot wait! I’ve loved reading your posts and watching the videos! any advice much appreciated! (did you take wheeled luggage or just backpacks?)
