September '09
The Screaming Geckos & The 200M Ragnar Relay Race (Cont.)

The die was cast. Recruitment was complete. There was going to be a
Screaming Gecko UltraRunning Relay Team. And, yes... they did register for the 2009, Ragnar 200M Relay Race (Washington, DC). Cool.

But first... Who are the Screaming Geckos... you ask?

UltraHat:
Bribed with the easiest 3 race legs and believing he had the Ragnar Ultra Deal of the Year, UltraHat wearily accepted running position #2 with the SGs (26.4 total miles)
   
MountainHammer:
Certainly an officer and a gentleman, this guy is filled with a lust for adventure! He had no doubts. I'm a Gecko. I'll run anything. I'm in! (33.8 total miles; He had no clue...)
   
Mr.Extreme:
Yikes. This guy scares us at G-WeB. With no body fat and barely a daily carbohydrate, Mr. Extreme is ultra-everything AMPLIFIED! He SPINS, bikes and runs 15M... all in one training session. (26.3 total miles)
   
IsThisAdREAM:
Always thoughtful, careful and deliberate with his decision-making, IsThisAdREAM relentlessly pinched him self during the Ragnar and could be heard reciting: One day I was out pullin' weeds in my front lawn, the next day I'm an ultra runner. What happened? (35.2 total miles)
   
TheStraightMan:
This cool and collected soul was no match for the tired, the weary or normal competitor at the Ragnor. Given his proclivity for being a prankster, it's surprising the SGs didn't get arrested on race day! (31 total miles)
   
"g":
Known for his slow and methodical pace as an ultra runner, "g" didn't burn any rubber or break any records at the Ragnor... but he did look rather handsome donning duct tape when he crossed the finish line! Cute.
(40.5 total miles)
