We are Controlled Substance. The story of how our team came to be goes like this:

Jenn and Nancy (daughter and mom) are from Bellingham. Jenn is domestically partnered to Mal, who pwnd the cross-country leg last year. Jenn made this awesome video and thought, "man, we should put together our own team." Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw7gCtWaceg

So we put together a ramshackle team consisting of one out-of-shape grad student with a strained quadriceps muscle and a secret dream of being a cyclist, two twin sisters, a fly-fishing Lopezian house-painter, an ultra-sound intern with an affinity for hot weather, a server/wine connoisseur with an affinity for Mickey Mouse, and a blogging wine connoisseur with a Master's degree in Physics. And finally, at the last minute, we convinced Jenn Hayes who comes to us by way of South Carolina to be our runner!
