2025 Grinch Team

I’m proud (and slightly concerned) to announce that I’ve once again managed to bribe, cajole, and mislead seven unsuspecting souls into joining me for Ragnar Trail Florida 2025. This marks Resting Grinch Face’s second glorious year of questionable decisions and collective sleep deprivation!

Half our team are battle-hardened veterans with at least one Ragnar under their belts — the other half are bright-eyed rookies who still think this sounds like “fun.” (Bless their optimistic little hearts.)

In the spirit of team bonding (and light character assassination), I’ve taken the liberty of writing a brief summary of each member. It’s 100% factual, and if anyone claims otherwise, they’re clearly lying and probably just worried I blew their cover.


Lex [ Jason ]

Lex [ Jason ]

Half motivational speaker, half chaos coordinator, Captain Lex runs on equal parts optimism and expired energy gels. He’s navigated Ragnar routes, group texts, and emotional breakdowns with the same calm expression he uses when his food arrives. PS: Don’t touch his clipboard — it’s where he draws his power.

D-Naugty [ Denise ]

D-Naugty [ Denise ]

D-Naughty may be a sweet mother of two, but don’t let that fool you — she’s tougher than a Navy SEAL and twice as scary when the snacks run low. Fueled by Malört and electrolytes, she keeps this circus hydrated, alive, and slightly afraid.

Rooster [ Jonathan ]

Rooster [ Jonathan ]

Rooster runs with a Garmin so old he has to wind it. Practical, steady, and friendlier than your neighbor’s golden retriever — unless you cut him off in traffic. Then he turns into a one-man IT department for revenge.

Bad Boy [ Rich ]

Bad Boy [ Rich ]

An active Marine with a heart of gold and quads of steel, Bad Boy treats race prep like a suggestion. He hasn’t logged a training run since 2018 but somehow negative splits every time. We don’t ask questions — we just hand him water and stay out of his way.

Kammer Time [ Mike ]

Kammer Time [ Mike ]

Once a 400-meter phenom, Kammer Time traded track spikes for trail dust — but never outgrew his synchronized swagger. Fueled by electrolytes and his boy band playlist, he’s the only ultra-runner known to negative split and hit the high note in “Bye Bye Bye.”

Wizard [ Brad ]

Wizard [ Brad ]

Reverend Run doesn’t say much — but when he does, Garmin satellites listen. A former special ops coder turned runner, he prays in code, runs in stealth, and disappears faster than your Wi-Fi signal.

Draft Duchess [ Heidi ]

Draft Duchess [ Heidi ]

Draft Duchess doesn’t chase PRs — she lets them chase her. Known for gliding effortlessly behind others, then overtaking them with regal side-eye, she brings that same royal dominance to fantasy football — where she builds dynasties, crushes egos, and still finds time to look fabulous doing it.

SASS-qach [ Amanda ]

SASS-qach [ Amanda ]

Half legend, half attitude, Sass-quatch runs only on iced coffee and unfiltered confidence. Known to appear at dawn, leave glittery footprints, and vanish before cooldowns. When she’s not running, she’s aggressively pretending she’s not competitive.
