New Yorkers
Flo, 23, a public relations associate, and Zach, 23,
a production assistant, have been good friends ever
since they met five years ago in a cafeteria at Vassar
College. While wearing a funny hat and a camouflage
suit, Zach instantly caught Flo's eye. Although Flo
and Zach have shared a mutual attraction for each
other over the years, they've never pursued a romantic
relationship.
One of
their most memorable times together was when they
were both bartending in college. Says Flo, "We
would go crazy making drinks for the whole bar, trying
to be Tom Cruise in Cocktail. It was so fun to be
silly with someone while working." Ironically,
one of the worst experiences they've ever had took
place while they were working together. When a young
girl became extremely ill from drinking too much,
Flo and Zach had to rush her to the hospital. "We
had to deal with the EMS and it was a really scary
situation," says Zach, who adds, "It was
reassuring to go through it with Flo."
Although
Flo and Zach are seasoned travelers, the couple has
only shared one 24-hour trip together. This Team is
convinced, however, that they have what it takes to
come out on top. According to Zach, "I am the
logistics man. I'm good with directions, roughing
it and keeping a cool head. Flo is very good at keeping
things fun. She's also great at getting people to
do things they might not otherwise do." Flo and
Zach are looking forward to seeing some great places
during the Race, and hope the experience will bring
them even closer together.
Flo's birth
date is January 17. Zach's birth date is June 29.
