What it’s like pacing Hayden Hawks at Western States 100

I had the opportunity to pace Hayden Hawks at the 2024 Western States 100. Hayden finished 3rd, only 16 seconds behind 2nd place in a sprint finish.

I also got the chance to help run with a camera up the escarpment for the livestream. In this episode I discuss my first experience at this iconic race.
