Team Careerbuilder.com would like to thank Careerbuilder.com for their generous support which has enabled our team to reach the starting line of Primal Quest Montana this year. Without their financial support, our team would be woefully under-prepared in terms of gear!
Thank you to Elk Grove Graphics for their assistance with our team kit design and their tremendous support.
Thank you to Jody and the great folks at Greenfish Adventure Sports. When PQ threw us a curve ball and required snowshoes as mandatory gear, Greenfish Adventure Sports stepped up to the plate and express shipped our lightweight, Atlas Race snowshoes to us in plenty of time for a quick test romp through the snows of the Utah mountains before the race start. Thanks for the t-shirts guys! We will wear them proudly!
We would also like to thank Karan Estee and the Utah Kayak School. Karan went above and beyond, sharing her knowledge and skills, and hooking us up with some sweet gear!
In addition, a huge thank you goes out to the folks at Comprehensive Sports Orthopedics and University of Utah Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation for bringing Ivy from ACL reconstruction surgery to the starting line of Primal Quest in 15 months.
Lastly, we wanted to express our deep appreciation to all of our friends and family who have supported us during our training. It has been a year-long journey filled with hard work, emotional and physical struggles, and much much money spent on gear, training, racing and more gear. You are the reason we all made it to the start and we can’t wait to see you at the finish!
Team Careerbuilder.com is:
Brad Brozek - Navigator and fearless leader. Trekking pace keeper.
Tom Giese - Paddle God. Biking King. Overall Stud. Otherwise known as Hot Tom.

Pain is temporary.
All bleeding stops eventually.
Peeing is good.
You’re not dead until you’re warm and dead.
Stop, drop & roll.
Hold pressure.
If Brad looks shaky - snake a tube down his throat & someone will be there in about 4 hours.
All’s well that ends.

We’re routing for you guys from cush, cool (not cold), warm (not hot), gear free (does a TV remote count?), beverage in hand (at the perfect temperature), dinner is served (and it’s not freeze dried), Point Reyes. Be safe, have fun, and please do kick some tail. As THE athletic Evans, you have whole family to work for, Jill.
Love to the whole team!

Keep up the Quest you Primals!!! We’ve been watching your little #49 floating around Montana and want to see it keep moving!! Just keep doing your own thing and enjoy the scenry. Don’t worry about Nike, they probably don’t have day jobs so it’s not really fair.
Race safe and have a bear burger while you’re out there!
