Revision as of 02:21, 9 June 2020
Florinka "Flo" Pesenti and Zachary Golden "Zach" Behr are a team of Friends and the Official Winners of The Amazing Race 3.
Flo became notorious for her constant complaining and screaming at the seemingly unflappable Zach while he carried her through the Race to become the first co-ed team to win. Flo repaid his awesomeness by ignoring him and flirting with Drew for the second half of the season, then dating him afterwards. In the final leg, they would be the last team to reach the International Fountain in Seattle, yet were the first to find a cab, winning them the race.

Retrieved from CBS.com[1]
- “With any good friends where there is a guy and a girl, there's a chance of something happening. We've never really crossed into that territory.”
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.
