A satisified Sarah Tantillo at finish line of the NYC Marathon. Hey, is that a Heatsheets blanket?
AMK employees, Sarah Tantillo and Kyle Peter, enjoyed their NYC marathon experience. Sarah breezed thru in 4 hours and 9 minutes, about 7 minutes faster than her goal time of 4:15. Sarah is hoping to break 4 hours next. Kyle blistered the first half in 1 hour and 30 minutes and jogged home the rest of the way to finish in 3:44. Kyle said if he saw any outdoor stores on route he was going to stop in and check them out. Next year we are going to challenge him to do it in under 3:30 while writing 3 orders on route.. That would be a productive marathon!
Looking calm and rested two days before the NY City Marathon
Kyle Peter looking to breeze thru the NYC Marathon in 3 Hours and 20 minutes
Adventure Medical Kits Sales Coordinator, Sarah Tantillo, and Sales Representative, Kyle Peter, are off to race in tomorrow’s NY City Marathon. This will be Sarah’s first attempt at the 26.2 mile distance. Sarah is looking forward to her girlfriends cheering her on as she strides to hit the 4 hour mark. Kyle, a Boston Marathon finisher this year in just seconds over 3 hours, will be looking to take it a little easier and wants to finish in 3 hours and 20 minutes. Four days after Kyle returns he will be launching into a four day adventure race with three other teammates. To compound the effort, they both took red eye flights on Friday night for the Sunday race. They will be back at work Monday morning. Check back on Monday for the after marathon pictures.
Congratulations to Team iMoat and AMK’s Kyle Peter on their 6th place finish in the Primal Quest Badlands.

As the Eco Primal Quest continues – teams are faced with cold temperatures and rain. Below is an update from the official website with a photo of our Heatsheets Bivvy in action – keeping the teams warm and dry on a cold morning.
Here’s a photo taken just minutes ago from the checkpoint.
Wednesday morning brings us another round of incliment weather, as Primal Quest Badlands presented by SPOT stretches into its fifth day. The forecast calls for cooler temperatures today, with rain a distinct possibility. The combination of the two can make for a long, cold, miserable day out on the course.
AMK’s own Kyle Peter and his teammates from Team iMoat are currently in 4th place overall in the 2009 Eco Primal Quest taking place in the Badlands. Check out the video below of the ropes course portion of the course yesterday.
You can track their progress here and view their team profilefor more information about the team. We’ll keep you posted on their progress – Good Luck Kyle and team!!
