Who would you most like to meet in the US? Why?
Bruce Springsteen.. "The Boss" .... Loved his music all my life, been to his concerts here. Would be incredible if I could shake his hand. 'The Tour of Duty' team ARE 'Born to Run' :-)

Sporting Interests/Background?
Running, love it. (Marathons being the longest distance I have run, completed 20) Australian Rules Football & Cricket (played both when younger, now a passionate supporter of the mighty Saints)... My main sporting interest now is: Watching my kids play their various sports which are Footy, Tennis, Cricket & little Athletics.

Who is going to spend the most time wearing the Tiara and ballerina’s tutu for being the biggest princess during the run?
Foxy .... I can only select one of the Melbourne guys as I know them quite well. My interstate mates will be good as gold :-)

Who will "snap" first?
Foxy again as we will be picking on his photogenic appearance quite often. No, only joking. No-one will snap as whatever problem presents itself, we will fix it or overcome it as a team.
