Bryan is in for a treat from No Pants. No pants.
Do good. Eat well.
Momentum 1 Paolo 0
We make a right turn in our car. Paolo is so tired that he can’t stay on his seat and his momentum causes him to fall off and crash into our styrofoam container, breaking it… Our 2nd broken styrofoam container.

Runner 5 - Paolo - done!
Paolo - is the King of hills - Paolo vs mountain style. He powered thru them like a true champion… We felt you pain Paolo…. Well we tried. Ok not really. But you are still the king of the mountain (hills) of Ragnar New York. We know who to assign the hilly legs to from now on. Distance: 4.6miles (uphill) Time: 50mins Superb job mate. It was a nice and scenic route and we passed thru...

Man down... Man up! - the Legend of Danny Wen
Mild mannered Danny Wen by day, NewD/CelebrityD by night. But the legend continues to grow. Those who have IT-Band injuries knows that it feels like your kneecap exploded. A few miles into it, the BeastlyD’s (please use name going forward) kneecap exploded. We all thought he was done and Dave took over…
As Pei Li was getting ready to take over from Dave who was cramping, Danny was...

Almost done
Our last legs start soon. We actually got a decent amount of sleep in the parking lot. Four were in the van and two were on the ground outside. When you’re tired enough, a blanket on top of asphalt feels great. We’re almost there! Bryan
Chelsea Clinton spotted
In the economic stimulus package van. Does she get her own private porter potty?
Runner 3 - Danny - done!
Two miles in - Danny wasn’t feeling so good - his knee was bothering him. We gave him an IT band to shut that sucker up and it worked the second time round. Dave was good support. Danny done - 845am.

Runner 1- Gabe- done.
Gabe is finished!! He did 6.5 miles in like 50mins! That’s insane. Plus he got a crazy uphill in the section. Gabe was following the guy in the pink underwear who has thunder thighs. Anyway we are super proud of Gabe for running incredibly well and for sporting the hulk panties for all three legs!!

“I’m pissed. Those [people who enjoy sexual intercourse]! What part of...”
– Rahul calling the waaaambulance when Van 2 called two hours early to let them know thew were nearly done… Sleep: FAIL.
Legs 21 and 22
Christine just passed 5 runners throwing down a 36 minute leg (4.3 miler) followed by Korby’s 28er (3.4 miler) passing a couple of runners himself. Unfortunately, we had to call van 1 and cut short their cuddling to meet us at exchange 24 in peekskill. -leekp

Deliriousness has kicked in
Gels have been found. Uh… Packed in my luggage. Steve is happy again. -leekp
Gel FAIL
After raving about gels for awhile, Steve could not wait to try one. However, the bag of goods have been lost. Steve is very disappointed. - leekp
