2022 Cocodona 250 (Tony McDermott)
Here is the recap of my Cocodona 250 experience…sit back and enjoy the ride.
I arrived at the start line around 8:30 am on Monday to do my final gear check and receive my Spot tracker. Once I finished that check, I returned to the car to ease into my pre-race routine for this race, which consisted of continuing to read my current book (Iron John by Robert Bly) and listening to some live Phish.
2022 Cocodona 250: A Pacer's Perspective (Wes Claytor)
To think that I could “pace” my friend Tony for 100 miles at the 2022 Cocodona 250 was a ludicrous idea, but that’s what I volunteered to do.
After learning about his commitment to running this race, I quickly decided to offer to help out in any way that I could. And after letting my wife Christa know that I’d be heading to Arizona in May to help Tony, we decided to turn this into a multi-month family road trip.
