The Hennepin 100 is a point to point race which starts in Sterling IL and finishes in Colona IL. I DNF'd this race two years ago and completed the 100 mile distance in 2023. This year I paced a gentlemen by the name of Henry Bickerstaff. I saw that Henry was looking for a pacer to meet him at the 47 mile mark and pace him 53 miles. Ive never paced before but loved the idea of doing 50 plus miles through the night with aid stations. I check out his facebook and saws that he was 70 and incredibly experienced in running ultras. The thing that really pushed the intrigue button was that he is in the Hall of Fame of accounting in the state of Oklahoma. So with not knowing Henry at all I suited up and we ran back to back marathons throughout the night with no rest. Henry was a fn savage. We talked a little bit here and there but it was all business on getting it done. He was so dam tough he power walked and ran even while throwing up (not on video)! Im super inspired and glad I did it. This is one of my faves and I'll definitely do it again.
