Noke Bio: Sarah - The Death Wish Master

This is Sarah


Sarah is the provider of the Death Wish coffee. (No, really. This is a thing and it frightens me a little bit because, well, have you met some of these people? They really don't need regular coffee, let alone the mega ultra-caffeinated makes you wish for death coffee. Still, she's in my van, so I'm clearly going to feel peer pressured to drink it. I mean, it's coffee.)

Sarah loves to cook and bake. Sarah is my new favorite. 

Sarah also loves to rock climb and power lift. So, clearly Sarah and I are going to have to stay friends, cause I'm pretty sure she could take me.

She is also mom to a 12 year old Westie named Charlie and a 7 year old Pibble (that's cute talk for Pit Bull) named Buster. If you attend the Thursday night pub runs at Parkway Brewery, you've probably met Buster. I don't attend the Thursday night pub runs at Parkway, so I haven't met Buster. And I'm feeling a little resentful about it.

Sarah is excited to be part of the Ragnar team not just because I'm her favorite, but also because she has always wanted to be part of one. (Bucket List, folks. Start crossing that stuff off now!) She is looking forward to Van One's dominance over Van Two while supporting Girls on the Run.

Noke Bio: Ercilia - The Adorable One AFTER Coffee

Image
This is Ercilia Sometimes we call her the Adorable one, but only AFTER we've had coffee. Definitely NOT at 4am before we've even figured out where our coffee is. Her friends call her Celia. However, we have officially nominated her as Ms. Congeniality. (Although, I'm not really sure why. There was this one time that I thought she was calling me hot stuff, but it turns out she was just talking to herself. Whatever.) Celia has two sisters, a niece that she adores, and parents that have been married for 50 years (I know, right?). Chad forced Ercilia to join the Ragner. Wait. No. That's not right. She's Ercilia. She jumped at the chance because she's Ercilia. (Have you met her? She's Ercilia.) She loves the idea of doing something different and that the Ragnar is a chance to work as a team and rely on other people. Her enthusiasm and perspective highlight the focus of our chosen charity, Girls on the Run. Here are the weird things you should...

Noke Bio: Richard - Van One's Foundation Runner

Image
This is Richard. We call him Cali.  ...because he lives in California. (We're both brilliant and original...) Cali has run, like, 1 billion marathons. (Or maybe he's going for numbers 20 and 21 this fall, but still...if you've run a marathon you know that there is little difference between 1 and 1 billion...)  He ran his first full marathon at the age of 15 in Anchorage, Alaska. Which I find odd. Because cold. Plus, at 15 I was just trying to make it through Algebra class. But to each his own. He literally just ran his 100th half marathon. And who doesn't love a good half marathon. If I could math, I'd offer you some fun mileage facts about running 100 half marathons. But...no. Cali has been running since he was a child, but has never had the opportunity to run a Ragnar Relay. So, of course, when random Chad Zahner suggested he travel to the other side of the country to spend two days locked in a van sweating away miles with a bunch of str...

Noke Bio: Melvin - The Peer Pressurer

Image
This is Melvin Melvin likes pain and misery. Melvin likes to peer pressure friends into taking on ridiculous challenges and then gets all in his feelings when those friends call him bad names for it. Melvin, apparently Melvo to some people and Freak to others, started running six years ago. He crossed running a 5k off of his Bucket List (seriously, people, are you working on those Bucket Lists???) and then he was hooked. He hired a personal trainer to get him through a Rugged Maniac and then moved on to marathons. He has completed five marathons, including the Blue Ridge Marathon three times (I've mentioned the awesome involved in crossing a BRM finish line, right?) He's run one 50k and has his sites set on a 50 Miler...one day. Now, if you ask Melvin, he will tell you that he was tricked into joining the Ragnar team. That would be a lie. The honest truth is, Melvin likes to do stupid things. It just is what it is and the sooner he owns that, the easier life will be ...
