How did you come up with Green Governor BEASTS?

The partial formation of the name goes back to the Julie Zajac 5K at John Carroll University on Sunday, April 13th 2008. It was a rainy, cold morning and therefore a lime green raincoat was needed. The lime green raincoat made subsequent appearances in future races, along with the immergence of a bright green raincoat. Pretty soon, we were planning on any coordinating green apparel to boost morale during races throughout the summer. That explains the “Green”. Now the “Governor” is a little more complicated and possibly embarrassing, but we know you won’t judge. Some of you may have heard of America’s next Top Model. During cycle 4 of ANTM, the girls had to take an acting class. They were challenged to learn a script in a foreign dialect and then they were judged on their performance. A line from the script is “Hello Governor. Lovely day, isn’t it?” They, of course, have to say it with a crazy accent and it comes out like this “’Ello Gov-nor. Luv-ly day, i-n it” or something like that. ANYHOW (we told you this was a little complicated), we started repeating that line to each other and using an accent during our phone conversations. The line transformed from the whole sentence into, ‘ello gov! Pretty soon, it was just gov or governor, depending on our cheekiness. Cheekiness may not be the right word to use, but whatever. Lastly, “BEASTS”. This is fairly simple and self-explanatory. We are fierce, competitive and intimidating beasts – it had to be incorporated into the name. Also, it we think it might make the all guy teams we compete against a little nervous.
