Summary

Peter Bakwin and Buzz Burrell popularized the term Fastest Known Times when they set the FKT on the John Muir Trail in 2000. A few years later they created the website that helps our community record cool routes around the world. With the cancellation or postponing of many races this year, more people are "projecting" adventures that might lead to an FKT. Buzz joins us to talk about the rise in popularity of FKTs and how you can participate!
