The first annual running of the Hennepin Hundred. I completed the 50 mile race, not the 100. My finishing time was not my fastest, but not my slowest either. Perfect weather day and a great point-to-point course for someone like me (i.e. get lost easy, balance issues when tired). The trail runs along side a canal built in the early 1900s. Wish I lived nearby to run it more often. Anyway, I got third place in my age group so I shuffled away with an extra award. Really feel good about today's effort given my training.

Congrats Bob! Sounds like a really cool run. I would imagine that your overall time on different 50-mile races would vary greatly depending on the course -- the AG podium is a pretty good benchmark...great job.

Congrats on a strong race! Sounds like you had fun.
