April Gould and Sarah Williams are a team of Goat Yoga Moms on The Amazing Race 30.
April & Sarah got off to a rocky start in the race when cracks in their relationship were exposed after they struggled with navigating in the first leg, which resulted in passive-agressive bickering. Despite this, they barely survived after managing to overtake Dessie & Kayla mere feet away from the mat. Although they put aside their issues in the next leg and began to work better, they struggled with the Detour, resulting in them being one of the last teams at the first ever Head-to-Head, just ahead of Eric & Daniel. April went on to lose the final heat to Daniel, resulting in April & Sarah's elimination in 10th place.

Describe what you do: As an entrepreneur, I do what is necessary to make Goat Yoga a successful business. On the fun side, I train my 25 goats to jump and interact with hundreds of different people every day for a unique yoga experience. It's like a big circus every time.
Three words to describe you: Adventurous, ingenuitive, and motivated!
Favorite hobbies: I love anything adventurous and outdoors. I was a professional water skier, so I especially enjoy barefoot waterskiing, wakeboarding, and wakesurfing, as well as circus flying trapeze, acrobatics, and stilting. I also like traveling, hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, rollerblading, snowboarding, and scuba diving.
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I am most proud to be a wife and mother of my three kids. They are pretty great despite my shortcomings. I am also proud of making a very successful business out of playing with my goats, and all the good that has come from it throughout the community.
What scares you most about traveling? My biggest fear would be getting lost in a sketchy area. I don't always have the best sense of direction.
What excites you most about traveling? I love going on adventures, exploring new parts of the world, and seeing new cultures!
What country and place would you most like to visit and why? I would love to go Tahiti and hike through glorious waterfalls, swim with massive humpback whales, and scuba dive beautiful coral reefs.
What do you hope to accomplish by running the race (other than winning $1 million)? The Amazing Race has always been a dream of mine, so being able to race is literally a dream come true! I am excited to go to different places, meet new people and soak in the whole experience!!

What scares you most about traveling? I used to be worried I wouldn't be able to talk to people but, after going to Europe and China, I realized there's someone everywhere that speaks a little English.
What excites you most about traveling? The best part about traveling is meeting new people. When you have friends around the world, you'll have places to stay around the world.
What country and place would you most like to visit and why? Ireland! Ever since I was a little girl and I saw the commercial for 1-800-SHAMROCK, I have wanted to go to Ireland.
