Bio: Peter Wentzel

Pete Wentzel found Adventure racing in 2007 and was hooked from his first race. A 36 year history of soccer has given him the lungs and legs for AR, 8.5 years of US Army experience imbedded map and organizational skills. Pete enjoys the combined physical and mental challenges that AR provides.  Pete has competed in over 30 events ranging from 6 to 30 hours.  His goal for 2010 is to complete an expedition length event, a marathon, and have fun during all training sessions.



Pete is the current captain of the Midwest Mountaineering team.  Captain in this sport is misleading, as "TEAM" is the core concept of Adventure Racing.  Taking the title of Captain mainly entails paying the entry fee and hoping to be repaid by his teammates.
