Bighead Crew Robert Zeigler aka The Cramp Captain Biography: As the captain of the Bighead Crew, Bob's organizational skills and love of racing help push the team to new heights. Running, biking, swimming, and complaining: Bob excels in all areas. The only problem is, he'd get lost in the mall without a map. He's quick with a midget joke, and even quicker with a sandwich. Beware: Bob really enjoys a tight pair of pants. Pride is not one of his weaknesses. Kevin Stricker aka Comatose Co-Captain Biography: A software/web developer by day, Kevin is one of a growing number of IT workers who like to get as far from the office as possible, as often as possible. His favorite disciplines are trekking and mt. biking, and he avoids swimming like the plague. His strengths include navigation, mt. biking, and the ability to sleep through anything. His weaknesses include paddling, swimming, frequent tardiness, and the size of his head limits headware choices. Mark Ross aka Tank Top Member Biography: Mark is excited about joining the team. He has been involved in athletic events for some time but just started adventure racing in 2006. He first met Bob and Kevin deep in the woods of western Virginia at midnight during an Odyssey race. When not racing or training, Mark is a medical doctor specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Although he can't swim worth a darn and if you take away his compass he'll walk in circles, he's otherwise well rounded in the various disciplines. As a bonus.. he doesn't need much sleep. Bighead Crew Support Team Dawn Zeigler aka Little Bit Biography: It takes a certain amount of generosity and patience being married to Bob. She helps him shave his back, need we say more? Dawn is always there when the team needs anything in the transition area. Canoe transport, bike preparation, water refilling, you name it.. Dawn has it taken care of before you know it. Did we mention Dawn is an up-and-coming racer as well? Jennifer Stricker aka U-Turn Biography: Jennifer suffers the badge of shame that is marriage to Kevin. She manages to put up with a ton of bad jokes and two tons of sweaty running shorts. Even with her hectic work schedule as a manager at a local sports store she still has the kindness in her heart (yeah right!) to make time to support the team. We are still working on getting her interested in actually competing.. it is only a matter of time. Oh and if she is behind the wheel, don't expect to get there on time.. she really earned that nickname. Donald Zeigler aka Caine Biography: If you are wondering what sort of person could be responsible for a beast like Bob, look no further. Don is Bob's father, and his sense of adventure is an obvious influence to his son's exploits with Team Bighead. Don's wizardry with maps and navigation is extremely valuable on the support crew. In addition, he has always managed to bail the team out when they got in over their heads in training (ie.. The 1st Annual Hot Tuna 10 Miler). Megan Zeigler aka The Primp Biography: Megan's sports background is in swimming and volleyball. She is Bob's younger sister and daughter to Don. Megan is a recent ODU graduate and should be teaching full time somewhere in the near future. Megan is just as likely to be caught in a TA combing her hair as filling up a Camelbak or taping lights to a kayak. Megan brings a cleanliness to the team and will act as our PR rep in a moment's notice. Steve Miller aka The Catastrophe Biography: Accident Prone!! What more can we say about Steve! This guy got in a car accident on an island that only encompassed four square miles. As a U.S. Army plumber Steve was notorious for getting hurt. Whether it is a plane crash, bullet graze, manhole cover to the foot, or a fall off a forty foot cliff.. Steve always gets back up and GETS HURT AGAIN! Steve is always ready to lend a hand and adds comic relief to every race. Oh and ladies.... Steve is still in the market for a wife if anyone is interested!
