About this episode

Lotti Brinks discusses her experience setting the overall FKT for the Zion Crossing in Utah.

On today’s episode, host Heather Anderson is joined by Lotti Brinks, who recently set the overall FKT for a Utah classic: the Zion Crossing. This 37-mile version of the now-closed Zion Traverse travels through highly varied terrain from sandy trail to creekbeds and muddy plateaus. Lotti shares her experiences with early season conditions, lucky weather windows, and how her supported effort became a series of missed connections and bonus miles.
