The Pickle Podcast #35 - Addison Hendrix - an old young

Yeah, so my coach, Aaron Thompson, who, no, he was a good coach.

Yeah.

The bad leadership was before his time.

Okay.

Aaron is a ultra marathon runner in his own right.

And while he was the coach, he was putting on a fundraiser for the team for travel expenses, uniforms, stuff of that regard.

Sure.

And one day after practice, he calls us all in.

He says, hey guys, this is what we're doing.

It'd be great if y'all wanted to sign up and just run whenever you can.

And then he put on a...

Two day track event.

Okay, so

48 hour timed event.

Yeah, but it had other distances and times incorporated within that.

So like the 12 hour, 24 hour, 6 hour.

And then would they have like 100k, 100 mile as well?

I believe they had a 100 mile.

I don't know about 100K.

Okay.

So

Aaron tells us about this.

I was like, hey, I think I'll go for the American record for my age group, the U21, 21 and under.

Okay.
