In 2021, Anton Krupicka embarked on his epic “Sagebrush & Summits” adventure during July — cycling 2,300 miles over 21 days while summiting six iconic peaks along the way. He followed that with a third place finish in the Leadville 100 in August. As Krupicka said, “‘Sagebrush & Summits’ was the focal point of my summer — it took most of July — and ultimately it set me up to race Leadville again in August.” In this FKT Podcast hosted by legendary mountain runner Buzz Burrell, Krupicka discusses his philosophy and what he’s trying to achieve when he sets his objectives.
When I set an objective for myself, I’m really trying to create an experience that’s going to be meaningful to me, and put me in a situation that will force me into a headspace and orientation to surroundings I don’t get in everyday life. Even having a partner will be a different experience.
