Glad to put this video out at the request of my Patreon supporters. My pal Dax Hock asked if I could pace him in his first attempt at a 200 mile event, the Bigfoot 200 in 2019. I had run the same race the first year it was offered in 2015 and was happy to go back and revisit the course - especially knowing some of the initial problems would be resolved and the course more clearly marked. Dax put in a great effort and continued onto the Triple Crown completing the Tahoe and Moab races, too. He finished second to the Devastator, Michael McKnight, a fantastic result.
