S1E10: Who is Horsepower?
Listen to full episode :
We have the privilege of speaking with the one and only, Horsepower!
True to his name, it really is like this man is fueled by an internal engine of some sort.
Well, we dive deeper into what this "engine" consists of and how he handled the mentality around a feat few can claim to have accomplished.
Horsepower set out to complete the Calendar Year Triple Crown this year of 2021, completing the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail all within a calendar year. Totaling over 7,000 miles, this is a feat few hikers set their sights on, even rarer as their first introduction into thru-hiking. No baby steps for him, instant trail by fire and ice, mostly ice.
Not only did he complete this feat, but he also set his sights upon a new milestone along the journey by trying to reach 10,000 miles in a single year. We talk about this goal and how it differed from the CYTC and what happens when you chose to seek failure.
A one of a kind chat, with a fresh into the thru-hiking world mentality, that takes a new spin on our usual show.
