 | Jane has captained this team to 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 9th place Eco-Challenge finishes. Matt was a junior national champion slalom kayaker before changing disciplines to wild water racing. With their extensive paddling experience, look for Team Aussie to be leading the pack in Borneo. One of John’s expert race strategies is to eat everything all the time to build up resistance to exotic diseases.
