So...who's that in the picture?

 

That's me....Chris Ledbetter. I'm 24 and I....

 

Pump the brakes bud...we'll get to that in a minute. What are you wearing in the picture?

 

Oh...well those are Hulk Hands.

 

You're not the Hulk though.

 

That's right. Thanks for pointing that out

 

But if you could have a super power, which one would you choose?

 

I'd probably pick super speed like The Flash. Because you can run so fast that when you jump it's like you're flying. And when you hit someone when you're moving that fast it's like you have super strength too. So it's pretty much the best power to have besides Superman.

 

Interesting. Let's get back on subject...so tell me, where are you from?

 

I'm from a small town in Central Arkansas called Bauxite. For geographical reference...it's just south of Little Rock.

 

And where do you work?

 

I'm a loan officer at a mortgage company.

 

What do you do like to do when you're not working?
 

I like movies...tv...music...reading. I like to make people laugh. I like running and playing sports. I enjoy playing ultimate frisbee.

 

So where are you most excited to go on The World Race?

 

The jungle.

 

The jungle?

 

Yeah, I want to go to the jungle and pretend like I'm a survivor of Oceanic 815

 

How cute? A LOST reference. Moving on...how are you feeling about leaving your home for a year and traveling the world?

 

It makes me feel excited. I have no clue what to expect, but I just know that when I look back on this experience it'll be worth it and hopefully I'll be a completely different person because of it.

 

What will you miss most while you're gone?

 

Probably driving....or my family and friends. It'd be a coin flip though. Hold on....ok, family and friends won.
 

You're a weird guy Ace...

 

It happens.

 

What happens?

 

Being weird, but I think I'd rather be called unique or something that's more politically correct.

 

Alright...we're going to wrap this up, so do you have any closing remarks?

 

Yes I'd like to leave everyone with an inspirational quote...

 

"Maybe your hats fly as high as your dreams."

 

You understand you're not giving a speech at a graduation right?

 

Just roll with it...
